22nd Feb admission date!! Started by: Amber

Hey Amber,
Your admission time is the time you need to get to the hospital for. My admission time was 9am and I went down for surgery at around 11:30am. I’d advise to have your bed all set up for when you get home and maybe have a few glasses/cups/bowls at counter level. I also moved things in my fridge that I needed to a lower shelf to make it easier for myself for when I was home alone. Also a good idea for after surgery is to wear shoes you can just slip on and a hoodie! xxx

I know you’re not with MYA from your profile so may be a little different for you but it goes so quickly waiting. I think it goes quick because the nurses are in and out with testing your blood pressure and getting you to fill things out, then the anesthetist comes down and has a chat with you for a bit and then your surgeon will be down to draw on you. The whole day for me went soooooooo quick! I had my cannula fitted when I was laying on the operating table, the anesthetist was so good that I didn’t even feel it! They all made me feel so comfortable that I didn’t even feel nervous!

Have you had your pre-op with the nurse? xx
