So happy for you Jemina! My experience at Preston was also amazing, it actually couldn’t have been any better and all of the staff were just the loveliest! And the butty when I woke up after my surgery was a dream as well, haha! I too didn’t have any pain afterwards, just the stiffness and achiness that you describe. I’m so glad it has all gone just as well for you, too!
The hospital is very small and intimate. The anaesthetic room, theatre, recovery room, relatives’ room and patients’ rooms are all so close together. I was lucky enough to have an early morning admission, I found out that I was first on the list when I arrived and I was in theatre only an hour after being admitted and the. back in my room only an hour after that, so I would definitely say to ask your partner to stay with you as you won’t be gone long. It was really helpful for me to have somebody on hand to pass me things so that I could relax and didn’t have to keep on getting out of bed and of course for the moral support and company too. Good luck with your upcoming surgeries girls, just try to enjoy the experience as this is such a huge life event for us all!
