joanna-bella's story :)

Well today was the day, and here’s my essay of my experience

7.20 my lovely fella and I arrived at the hospital, we had spent 1.5 hours trying to find it last night first (very wise idea considering it wasn’t on any of our sat navs, and google maps had us the wrong side of D’Urton lane), we stood waiting for a lovely nurse (although I never caught her actual name) to be shown to the room, where my lovely gown was awaiting me, and a horrid dressing gown, so I was extra pleased I took my own soft and fluffy one, I popped my brand new fluffy socks on, and my new, and very uncomfy slippers, and waited for my sexy stockings and paper knickers (OMG how big are they?!)

So I sat and watched TV for a while while chatting away to Joe, and getting nervous, although I was much calmer then I thought I would be, bonus! The lovely nurse came back and asked all the usual question, and said if things run smoothly I should be second in, nope still not that nervous. Joe and I spoke about what we bought yesterday shopping, was supposed to be MY shopping day, but we spent more on him (and rightly so, he is deffo my rock, and needs treated every of often), coz I honestly couldn’t find much I liked or wanted I meet the anetatist (bad spelling), and he seemed nice asked me the same questions as the nurse, and the doctor that came in after, it felt like an exam really, then mario came in, took some pics and drew on me, he looked surprising calm and normal (now I didn’t think he was that special, and seeing him in clothes my fella always wears just made me love Joe more). I laid down on my front, for the last time in a few weeks, and read my magazine. Joe went off to find a brew and some buscuits, and came back to say girl one had come out, so he thought I wouldn’t be long (still not that scared yetn which I’m shocked at)

Along comes a very bubbly nurse, asks the same questions, yet again, and takes me down to theater, I kiss Joe, give him a huge hug, and along came a tear I’m taken into the room, and laid down on the bed, the nurse sticks the strap on my hand, and I spent almost FIVE minutes pumping my hand for a vein (I have really small ones) and then in goes the local, we all had a laugh about me prefering coffee and green tea to alcohol.

I wake up from what seemed like a blink of the eye, and begged to be able to lie on my side, but I wasn’t allowed, I must have taken ages to come round, coz Joe says I was gone for over TWO HOURS!! And I remember lying there thinking where’s my boobs, so sneaky peak, and there they are! In all their glory, and boy did they look good another girl was brought into recovery (shows how long I was out for!) I was wheeled back to my room, saw Joe in the day room and smiled. Back in my room I feel asleep, in and out for hours, I have no clue what iv said, or how long it had been, I was SO tired, and Joefus stayed until I insisted he went for lunch somewhere, and I slept from before he left until he came back (insert huge cheesy grin and that stage), then more sleep

Trying to get up was impossible, I got sat up, and my legs dangling in a mission for the toilet, to not make it off the bed, bang goes my colour, stability and needed of a wee! I got told off for not drinking much, and I get my black coffee, finally, it was about 4pm by this stage, and boy did I enjoy that brew!! Joe finally looks at my boobs, and he seemed really happy, at first I thought they were really small, but now they loook amazing

After my two brews, I’m awake, awake now, and have some soup (I didn’t want any, but without it I wouldn’t be going home), so ate half, fed Joe my toast, and finally got up for my wee this gave me a new lease of life, and energy, and I got Joe to ask if I can go home… This was at 7pm, and I hadn’t actually seem Mario again, nor did I when I finally left, the nurse got my meds, and another took my canula out, and I asked about bras, to which I was told Mario wanted my in a band to TWO weeks, this HURT getting put on, the most painful thing of the day, even more painful then the one injection I remember

So now I’m sat in my hotel room, sent Joe for a drink, and I’m writing this, in between hot and cold flushes (if this is what the menopause is going to be like, I DON’T want it!), I’m pain free, just a pressurised discomfort, and boobs that look like Madonna’s cone ones, but I got my 380’s MPH and Mario says I should be a D, and fingers crossed I will be
