Friday 21st
So my operation was scheduled for last Friday but it was cancelled. It has now been scheduled for 21st November. I have to phone the hospital to confirm they have a bed for me then I am to arrive at the hospital tomorrow for 12:30pm.
I have my bags packed including a new pair of fluffy crocs. I really hope the hospital is not freezing cold as it was 2 years ago around this time. It’s Freezing when they wheel you around the corridors and back and forth from operating theatre.
I am trying not to think about it too much and just get on with it. From what I am aware the ‘Royal Brompton’ is not one of those hospitals bustling with activity like say ‘The Chelsea and Westminster’. I am hoping I will be ‘out of it’ for the first week and don’t remember most of the trauma I am about to go through.
I just want to get the operation out of the way so I can start the New Year afresh. I feel I am putting a lot of pressure onto my elderly parents. I feel guilty about this. It is rather depressing going into hospital around Christmas but at least I will be back home for Christmas.
