Ok here’s my boobie story. I got there yesterday for 1pm and waited in reception till 1:30 when the nurse came to get me. After taking me through to a ward with 4 beds she asked me to take all my clothes off and put on the lovely paper knickers, gown and stockings….they are everything everyone says they are I was told I had about an hour to wait as there was a girl already down having a big op. I saw the anaesthetist at 3 who went through all the stuff about GA and my medical history then the surgeon came at 3:45 to draw on me at this point I knew the other girl was out of surgery so my turn wouldn’t be long eek!!
I think I finally went down at about 4 where the lovely anaesthetist told me I would soon feel drunk once I did she injected some penicillin which she told me would give me a garlic taste in my mouth, think I made some crack about “oh that my kebab to go with the drink” and next thing I woke up in recovery at 5, first thing I did was lift the sheets to check it was done lol and it was. Went back to the ward for about 5:15 feeling pretty groggy. I had hoped to go home but because they had injected some tramadol in recover cos I said I was in pain they said I would have to stay in. As it happened it was quite good as the other 2 girls on the ward were lovely and we had a giggle until after midnight.
I woke up from GA starving in fact think that’s first thing I said so about half 6 I had some sandwiches whilst I waited for my boyfriend to bring my youngest son in to see me, which was really nice to see him as I wasn’t going home.
Slept rubbish though, was sat up and uncomfortable and as usual with hospitals there were loads of strange noises so when they brought breakfast and pain relief at 6:20 this morning was a relief.
Came home about 9 after seeing my surgeon and I’m currently chilling on the couch fleeting slightly woozy from the codeine so excuse this if it doesn’t make sense
Got to admit they aren’t as big as id have hoped, the left one is quite a bit bigger/more swollen then the left so hope that equals out. They are also quite high which I didn’t expect as I had overs so just hope they drop????
I will put some pics up soon just need to upload them.
