SO FAST!

I couldn’t believe the speed of my operation day!

I was expecting to be waiting and waiting for ages to be taken to surgery but it was the complete opposite. My admission time was 2pm but I arrived at 1.40pm due to good traffic. I was in my room by 1.50pm and as soon as a nurse had been in to admit me my boyfriend was then allowed to come into the room, at 2.10pm. By 2.30pm I’d done my sample for the pregnancy test and the anesthetist had been in and explained what would happen next. A few minutes later Dr Traynor had come in the draw on me and the anesthetist came back in with another nurse to take me down to theatre so there were 5 of us in my room all having a casual conversation! I was in theatre by 2.45pm.

It was about 3.40 when I was in recovery, my boyfriend saw Dr Traynor back in his regular clothes and ready to leave and he had told Josh that everything had gone well and I was doing fine. I remember the nurse waking me up and me saying “I’m starving, when do I get my cheese sandwich?” then after her reply telling her that I was going back to sleep for a bit.

Next thing I knew I was back in my room and drinking water awaiting my sandwich  (which actually tasted amazing…and not just because I was so hungry).

The nurse came in every half hour (felt like she was coming in every few minutes) to check my blood pressure. It was 7pm when the nurse came back in and said I was fine to go home. So off we went!!
