    I’m having abit of a panic…. I had my pre op on Tuesday and no blood test yippee but she recommended staying atleast an hour away from the hospital … I live 2 and a half hours away and my friend who is coming with me can’t stop over night so I’m going to have to come home. Has anyone else travelled home? Also I’m worrying abit about my doctors, I signed the letter etc then realised in the night I bet my doctors haven’t got my new address (the one in my Mya letter) so I rang up the next day and they told me I’m now out their catchment area and I need to move doctors … Tried contacting my PC but she’s not replying to me. Any ideas? P.s my ops on 21st December x

    Hey I live 3.5 hours away from where I had my op. I just told the nurses on the day I was staying close by any families house but we drove back and it was fine x

    I’ve got my op next week, I live 2 and a half hours away but my boyfriend is driving me home after because I’d rather be at home than a hotel. I’ve told them I won’t be staying near by and they said that’s fine xxx
