I had had only two weeks to prepare for this operation and that included the pre-op the week before. It has been a while since I prepared for an op, and I was surprised but pleased to see that they included a test for MRSA. Thankfully I was clear.
I was given a list of things to bring with me and instructions to ring the ward at 6 am in order to check that there would be a bed for me by 7. There was.
So the grandparents came over to take over the childcare and DH and I went to the hospital. We were given the bed fairly quickly, then we waited. The ward consisted of six beds. There were two older ladies opposite, a lady who was due an operation that day on her shoulder, a knee op and another foot op.
I met the consultant and he drew two big arrows on my leg. Apparently I was going to have two scars! I met the anesthetist and after a little discussion, I was to go first. I went down to theatre about 11 o'clock.
