Ready, no!

Well i am packed and waxed and plucked and medications ready for my op tomorrow. Bit nervous of course, half of me wants to run away and the other half wants it over with asap.

Darn it............... I have just started this blog and the phone rang and it was the specialists secretary to say they have cancelled my op. The good news is they will do it on friday. Don't know how I feel, sad shocked, wishing i didn't have more time to wait , but understand someone is more poorly than me.

oh well, give me time to empty the freezers or something or i might just go and see Skyfall the bond movie as we ran out of time to see it.

disappointed though in a way and oh dear will have to rewax and pluck again before Friday!

ye frustrating but rather not be fitted in at the end of a long neurosurgery list ha ha

Shame your op is cancelled til Friday when you were all ready to go.

Try not to think about it too much, go and do something to treat yourself.

Good luck for Friday.

There's nothing worse than getting yourself all mentally prepared for something only for the plans to change at the last minute :( I hope it all goes well for you on Friday.

Sorry that your op has been cancelled till Friday.

But go enjoy skyfall, I've heard it's brilliant.'

Go dream of Daniel Craig. Pass the Buck and let "them'' pluck but I send you love and luck.

ha ha , just want to be the least hairy sleeping person in their theatre!!!! Axx

When i had my last anaesthetic the recovery nurse was called robert and he told me to call for anything when i wake up. Consequently i spent two groggy days asking for Robert but was on the ward. my husband when i woke up said "who's Robert!!" i couldn't remember of course, until i remembered what the anaesthetic nurse said, oops nearly got in trouble lol xx

Oh yeah, a likely story about this Robert! I love your attitude to setbacks - sort out the freezer and then out on the town, wonderful! Wishing you the very best of luck for Friday, that first cup of tea when you wake up from the op will taste great!

,i do sympathise,get all the butterflies then down to earth with a bang,i had to have op,they gave me a date for last August,all the usual instructions and to ring in morning to make sure there is a bed,when i did,they had no record of me at all,turned out they gave me the wrong flaming month,same day but september,because it had the right day as well,monday the whatever,and that was right,i was really upset,it`s awful when you get yourself all worked up,can`t be good for us,they say stress no good for RA!
