I drove to Preston from Newcastle so quite a long drive, I was so relaxed until I got there and it finally all sank in, was a bit of a blur! I started to get very nervous but found out I wouldn’t be having surgery for a few more hours so I tried to stay relaxed. I met my doctor and the man who would put me to sleep. Gary Traynor then came in to draw on me and sign some stuffmI was very nervous for the needle and anesthetic, more so than the op! But it was totally fine, they used a kids needle in my hand so it was tiny and hardly felt it go in. I was wheeled into the operating room and Gary said good luck, he is such a lovely man and a character! I liked the feeling of the antibiotics going up my arm, just felt very cold! The anethnatist put my ‘gin and juice’ (his words haha) in the tube and I spoke to the lovely woman who was helping him out, she calmed me right down and we spoke about a lot, she told me she would see me soon then I was out before I knew it. I remember being woken up, I must of been out for longer than expected and I was shaking really bad when I got wheeled to my room, I had also gone a funny yellow colour and naturally my boyfriend was very worried bless him, but I started to come round and all was well! I’m not going to lie, I felt very tight, like I couldnt breathe and a lot of pressure on my heart area, this is normal though as my little chest isn’t used to having boobies! The nurses gave me water straight away and I had some tea and toast which was lovely. Gary Traynor came in to see how I was doing after the op, he told me no touching, and same to you (pointing to my boyfriend) haha. I stayed in the hospital for about 4-5 hours, I could of gone earlier but every time I tried to stand up it knocked me sick and started sweating. The woman took the cannular out, not very gently! It didn’t hurt too bad but started bleeding a lot and that tipped me over the edge. I have no idea how, but I didn’t throw up thank god. I lay down for a while longer and started to feel a lot better, my boyfriend helped me get dressed, and the nurse came in to tell me about my meds. I just wanted to get to the hotel and get some food and sugar down me! We left and I am currently lying I’m the hotel bed, still feeling sore and achy but not as much pressure on my chest. Excited to have another look!
