Good luck pet – the whole experience stays with you for life so enjoy. bit like your driving test you never forget thi well how could you?
good tip – you n hubby think of names to call each one to break the ice whilst your nervous before op
i thought i was gonna die before the op- all nerves you will be fine, i was hysterical crying all over the place nearly backed out so many times – this is all fine too
let hubby kiss goodbye to the bad boys just before you go in and welcome the good boys when you get back hee hee
take your meds as you would at home ie, my pain threshold not so good so when tablet packet says every 4 hours i did every 3/12 so i was always pain free.
i dont know how they do things nowadays but i was given diamorphine and diclaphenic (oops cant spell) the second made me have like throthy bile tummy. i thought my boobs had leaked lol – hysterical now but honestly you will find yourself looking for every little thing – just relax and enjoy it – its a fantastic experience especially the euphoria when you go out for your new underwear
good luck pet
lookin forward to reading about your experience x
