Hi everyone
well it's been 2 wks now since i had my bypass op and i'm doing well.
i went into hospital on the 11th of may at 6.00pm i had my blood pressure taken and was shown to my bed, my partner Lee stayed with me awhile and left around 8pm. The nurse came and gave me a blood thinning injection and i then got ready for bed. Next day i was woken around 5am for my blood pressure to be taken i hate that cos i can never get back to sleep!!! I got up around 7am and went to have a wash OMG my monthly's had come OH NO not the day before my op!! To make things worse i then had to take a laxative to flush me out it was the first time in my life that i've ever felt sorry for a toilet! after going to the loo about 7 times my stomach settled down. That evening around 7pm the nurse came to fit my drip, after 3 really painful attempts she still couldnt find a vain so had to call for the doctor on the ninth attempt both arms and hands pricked and bruised he finally got the needle in by this time and i had almost past out!
Wednesday 13th may was here, i'd waited so long for this day, my bypass was scheduled for 1pm i felt really possitive at this point and couldn't believe how calm i was, in a strange way i was almost looking forward to it!
1pm came and i did start to feel scared, Lee had been with me since 8am and had kept my spirits up, then at 1.15 the men in blue coats came and before i knew it i was on my way to theatre, a few tears rolled down my face, Lee kissed me and off i went. i seemed to get there in no time they asked me to get onto the theatre bed 3 strong men helped me up as i laid down the man on the left was talking to me, the man on my right was fiddling with my arm the next thing i knew i'd woken up in recovery and it was 6.10pm! the first thing i thought was IT'S OVER it was such a great feeling!!!!!!
