Fibroids And Heavy Bleeding

[KP the nut]

@CraftyCath. Thank you lovely, it was lovely talking to you on the phone.

Update.

I went last Wed 13th for my pre op assessment. They took more blood, did an ECG, nasal swab, blood pressure, temp and all of the usual. Then I had to see the nurse. Everything was going so well until the nurse asked why I was having a day surgery pre op assessment as I would be an inpatient and needed an inpatient pre op assessment. WTF. She was very apologetic but basically it was a NHS stuff up and she wasn't even sure if my op date would be the same. I looked over her shoulder at a notice about not abusing NHS staff and took a couple of deep breaths. Anyway, she arranged for someone to contact me the next day. So I had wasted over 2 hours, driven 25 miles, paid £3 parking charge (yes, in my area we are charged for parking at the hospital) and who knows how much NHS ££££s wasted.

Thankfully, I was contacted the next day. I go for my new pre op assessment tomorrow and my op date is still the 3rd Sept.

Sorry this is such a hassle. I sincerely hope that everything else goes smoothly. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

I am with you in spirit. Hang in there. September third will be here before you know it. Hugs.

Eeeeeeeeek.

Pre op went well. They used common sense and accepted the blood work, swabs etc results from the tests last week. I was even showed the ward where I will be.

Glad they accepted your blood work KP. Hope that familiarizing yourself with the unit will help you stress wise.

Ah yes, the good old £3 parking same as at my hospital. And the queuing for a parking space! The nurse at my GP surgery told me I had to have a blood test but the Phlebotomist is on holiday, they said I could have them done at the hospital but at £3 a time and having to be there at 8am to get a space and the queue tom have the blood test (by ticket) it just isn't worth it!

I'm so glad they sorted it KP and that it is scheduled for 3rd September. I will be thinking of you on the day hun. x

Dear @KP the nut, will your surgery now be performed tomorrow? I'd like to light some candles for you. Would it be inappropriate if I ask you, at which time the surgery is planned? I then would accompany you with my heart. Keep your head up high special lady! :tup::) :hug:

I have to be in hospital by 7.30am on the morning of Wed 3rd (UK time).

I am so anxious. I confessed to my hubby yesterday that I was scared I will die during the op. Ignorance is bliss, I shouldn't have read the literature the hosp gave me.

Tomorrow, I am going to have my gel polish taken off and having a mani and pedi. Then, I will do a little housework before packing my bag. I need to ensure my iPod, Kindle, phone etc are charged and I am taking a couple of favourite essential oils with me.

I won't have internet access but will text a friend and ask her to update here.

iPod, Kindle, phone

Yes and take a charger too. I forgot when I went on holiday!

Nightmare because everything has it's own charger and nothing fits anything else. When we go on holiday, we have a separate bag for chargers. Hubby labels them as well :inlove:. The only charger I will take is my phone, all being well I'll only be in overnight.

What a good idea. I think I will try to do that next time.

My phone randomly flattened its battery today. I was only in the house so it did not matter - except I missed calls, but at least I was able to charge it as soon as I realised.
