Pre op

It's two in the morning. I cannot sleep, have to get up in 3 hours to get ready for my big op. Last night I had to drink two bottles Of pre-op drink. Then shower in pink anti-bac fluid. I do have the startings of a cold so they may have to postpone the reconstruction. If they did at least then I wouldn't miss the twins' 11th birthday or the funeral of our wonderful friend Al who passed away yesterday morning. Cancer sucks.

Blimey, that was quick!

Hello, and happy new year! Well this week I telephoned the plastic surgeons secretary, to ask if she had a date for me to have my reconstructive surgery. I had been told that the waiting list was up to four months. She allocated me a date in mid March, which suited me. Then she suddenly announced that she had a cancellation and that they could do it next week!!

So tomorrow I go in for my pre op bits and tests for a few hours. Have madly rushed around sorting out childcare, new dressing gown and slippers (I should be in for about 5-6 days from next Tuesday). To have a free tram flap (don't look if you're squeamish.... It's an 8 hour major surgery).  






So basically I get a free tummy tuck thrown in!
