    Cant believe I’ve actually done it! Literally wanted this for four years [:)]
    Well I had booked daycase so travelled the 2 and a half hour journey to Preston from Teesside the night before and stayed in a cheap Travelodge, nice enough but the car park was a nightmare!
    Got to the hospital at 7.30am exactly which was my admission time and saw my boobie buddy @vicki23 already there! The receptionist ticked me off a list and we waited for a bit and then me and my friend were shown to my room.
    Everything happened so quickly! Nurse did sme paperwork and gave me my gown, stockings and famous paper knickers. Another nurse checked my heart and breathing
    At this point the wonder himself that is mario Russo strolled in, telling the male nurse to move aside as he came to draw on me (my friend nearly fainted coz he’s so beautiful )
    Mario took photos and did his drawings and checked my paperwork and what size I wanted to go to, I’m glad he asked this coz I nearly forgot to say I wanted 380s! I asked him how many BAs he was doing today he said 8 but that I was first – buzzing!
    He left and then the anaesthatist came and asked questions and checked paperwork then left but the first nurse came back (don’t know any names!) and she took me through to a room where a needle was put in the back of my hand and the anesthetiser and another nurse or ome sort gave me antibiotics and painkillers through my hand and then the anaesthetic itself and the next thing I remember is being told to shuffle from one bed to another back in my room!
    I don’t think I spoke too much rubbish when I came round but I was just proud I’d done it! After that I got some more painkillers and dozed on and off ( I think I went in at 8.40 and came out and woke up around 10.30)
    Every half an hour the first nurse checked my blood pressure so I can’t have slept too much .. This carried on for a while then went to an hour intervals til about 2.30pm in between the blood checks I had some toast and then soup..
    I didn’t feel nauseous or anything and left around 4pm [:)] story over! .. Oh yeah just before this a nurse came with the breast band I’d been dreading but it’s really not too bad

    All the staff were amazing and wanted to thank them for my experience oh and I saw mario on my way out he gave me a gentle hug and i thanked him and he said see you soon [:D]
