HERE'S MY STORY….. :-) . Its a long one lol… Im a very happy girl right now.

Here’s my story….

“I can’t believe I’m 3 weeks & 3 days post op. It’s gone so quickly and I’m in love with them”

I’m 5’4 size 8-10 and was a 32 small B ……….

I left my home at 2am ready to be on the coach for 2:45am. After a long coach journey from Cardiff and a short taxi ride, my mum and I arrived at Highgate at 6:30am. Little eager has my admission time was at 7am.

I filled out some forms and then I was showed to my room by 6:45am. I was in room 315 it was huge, it look like there was furniture missing it was so big.

The the first nurse came in about 7:20 to run some test and to give me the famous paper pants, gown and socks. Oh yes girls you are right, they are so sexy haha. The nurse was even cracking jokes too, she was so funny.

7:40 I was starving and so thrusting Mum love her was trying to hide her drinks and breakfast roll she made from home. I kept “saying no point you suffering – eat” lol. But mum being mum she said she will wait intill I went down to surgery. Love her!

Then 7:50am Dr Charatasak came in did his fabulous drawings asked how I was feeling? Then he left saying I see you very soon with big smile.

At 9:05 a nurse called ‘Takesure’ came in to my room, with no introduction. She demanded my D.O.B which I just about caught due to her speaking so fast and had a bit of strong accent. She was really rude and abrupt with me, I kept thinking to myself I’m not going to left this one nurse spoil this whole experience because everyone else has been brilliant.

One of the questions she asked me was do I have any piercing; I said yes and explain that all piercing have been removed except one. My neck piercing which I haven’t removed since having it pierced 3 years ago. She said she going to cover it and ask me to sign a disclaimer. While covering my piercing she was quite rough and went a little over board with the tape. The tape was so long it wrapped around my neck pulling on my skin and hair. 😥 My mum and I were exchanging looks, but tried to ignore her lack of customer service. Takesure gathered the documents and turn to me ask me where were my shoes were? Slightly confused I pointed them then Takesure asked me to put them on then. Even more confused mum jump up off her chair and quick asked why, whats wrong? She looked at mum and said I’m taking her down to surgery!!! Well… me and my mum were stunned and didn’t I expect that. There no warning or mention of going down to surgery the whole time she was in my room. We rambled through my suitcase for my asthma bump; as I was told to take it before go down. She stood there with an impatience look on her face.

I followed her into the lift, which was the most awkward and uncomfortable silent ever. She never asked how I was or said I going be ok? At this point I felt sick to my stomach and extremely nervous. I kept thinking why didn’t she come into my room introduced herself properly and explained what she was doing….

“I’m Takesure going to take you down to surgery but first going to ask you some questions” see its not that hard!

Every nurse who came into my room had introduced themselves and explained what they were doing. Anyway if she at least said something, then my mum and I could have prepared. I knew her name only because I checked her name badge while waiting. This is meant to be the most important part, and all I got was rudeness.

I got down the surgery room, and they sent her off (I was glad to see the back of her)

They laid me on the bed, I looked up and I could see the clock: 9:15am on the dot.

I did feel myself filling up with tears; I think it was mixed of emotions. Happy I’m finally getting it done, overwhelmed, little angry at that nurse. But once they said your going sleep now I just took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes (which felt like seconds) and 1st thing I thought is oh my god quick I’m awake, quick someone put me back under. Then I turned to my left and there was a nurse smiling and shouted she awake (what a fab character lol) I still was thinking yes I’m a wake, put me back under. Then I looked up and the time: 10:15am on the dot. I looked down and started feel myself up. Then the penny finally dropped, I realise I just came around from the operation. (Love me) hahaha.

Then they wheeled me down back to my room, the cheerful nurse shouting to my mum, “she wake, she going to be fine” lol.

I was in and out of sleep for 30-45minutes then I felt wide awake. Completely spaced out – but wake.

I felt great, no sickness, no talking about flying pigs, or talking dog’s haha. I had great come around. My nurse Imrina Dyer (absolutely great nurse, completely contrast to takesure) kept checking up on me, gave me some tea and toast and more painkillers.

By about midday, I was so ready to go to the hotel and settle in. Mum love her been up since 1am like me and have been sat on a chair all morning and afternoon. I couldn’t relax knowing she hasn’t had much sleep herself.

Then about 2pm Dr C came around and checked on my puppies and said “I heard you had a good come around”. I asked him if I was ok to leave, he gave me the thumps up and said happy with the result just asked the nurse for your medication.

Woohoo sleep time I was thinking (and my mum).

While waiting for my meds, we asked to speak to someone about Takesure and how disappointed we were with her service. They couldn’t apologise enough and gave me contact details to write a complaint. I really didn’t want to but I feel its constructive criticism so she knows for next time.

Taxi finally arrived, and OMG the pain. Every turn and bump was agonising. I was thinking I’m so glad my mum is a nervous driving and we had to get first class train tickets to go home tomorrow, because the journey would have been torture. (I recommend the train to anyone, so smooth you don’t feel a thing – worth every penny).

So we finally settle into our hotel, just under 10mins away from the hospital. I stayed at the Roseview hotel. I highly recommend it. A reasonable price and such a stunning little hotel with Breakfast included in the price (full English too:-)).

We had a flat screen tv with dvd player, which we were told when booking it. I had the great idea of bring dvds for my mum and I, just like a girlie in haha.

As soon as we got into our beds, we hit the pillow. I was in and out sleep due to sleeping up right. But I wasn’t complaining, I finally got boobs

Wooohooo…

Sorry for the essay, long I know. But my friends always did say I was a great story teller. Hahaha.

Hope you enjoyed and after wanting my puppies done for almost 7 years I couldn’t be happier.

P.s I have 300 overs MP they measure at the moment a 32E lol. But there still little swollen. I reckon they are going to be a D
