Morning has broken......

5:50am and I’ve just finished a mug of tea and all I can think about is it will be at least 9:00pm before I can have another one! I’m off to Liverpool Heart and Chest hospital at 9:00am for ablation No. 2. and not allowed to eat or drink anything more from now (except water until 10:00am) until after procedure. Am I worried about procedure? No, not really, maybe one or two collie wobbles but that’s it. Am I worried about no more tea for possibly another 16 hours? You bet I am!

I remember first time round when they eventually sat me up and nurse made me a brew. It was like drinking liquid gold. Mind you couldn’t say the same for the digestives. They we’re generic and not McVities!

......and yes sports bottle packed. No intention of giving myself a bed bath!

Stay safe all.

Hugs, Frances xxx

Thank you all. Have arrived and in my room. Yes, private room, en suite, nice view and plasma tv! Don’t know how that happened but you won’t get any complaints from me.

Will be in touch later.
