Good luck to you all . Audrasharron well very stressful .i only got a phone call So couldn't remember were to go for assessment . Sent all over the hospital . Seen on the ward . But my letter from cardiac surgeon sept this year saying my aortic sternoisis isn't server but mild just poking into moderate wasn't in the notes . ( I had photo copied it and given it to the team) . Anyway she said to bring a copy in on Tuesday and that my latest echo from SGH and report from cardiac surgeon would be enough . That as I have had loads of test X-ray , echo, ECG, bloods I didn't need to go through that again only bloods . .
So she gave me green for go ! But really it's the anaesthetist on Tuesday who decides morning.

Bloody hell sounds like you have had a right day of it! I'll keep everything I can crossed for you. Just have to sit back and let it happen now. What will be will be. Feeling for you! XXX

[Yvessa]

How annoying butterfly fingers crossed for tomorrow

 

[audrasharon]

Flick: just read your other thread. Sounds like you had a bloody terrible episode of pain the other day! No wonder you've had a knock to your confidence!! Glad it seems better now. X

 

[Butterfly_lady]

Cheers guys not gone home I had the choice but I thought I'd stay here as it's easier, oh well these things happen least I'm the only one on the list for my surgeons afternoon session

Nice neat incisions. My surgeon gave me a tiny pouch 12/15ml!!

Audra: Oh man, that was horrible Never again. I have seriously reduced the amount im eating and doing now and am staying in bed or indoors at least, until I can move properly with no pain. Thought I could manage it but it was very naive of me. Guna be a lazy bum for as long as I can get away with it How are you getting on?

Kimberly: If you have you seen the anaesthetist before and had no problems hopefully everything will be good to go for you! What a day you've had! On the bright side, imagine all those extra calories you burnt hehe

Butterfly: What an utter p*ss take! Kept checking back for news and everytime.. nothing! Cant believe they made you sit there that long for nothing. Hopefully they'll pull their fingers out tomorrow and get you seen to asap! It may have been down to issues on the ward rather than the team? I had all my last minute checks on the morning of my surgery and after was told to sit in the waiting room and just wait til my turn (I was supposed to be second) Within seconds of being told id have a while to wait I was taken to get dressed and led down to theatre. Apparently the lady who was supposed to be first that morning hadnt had a bed booked in the recovery ward (but I did) so they had to dely her surgery til the following day and I went down early. Bizarre! Do you know why they cancelled?

Bloody hell! Thats tiny! A nail varnish bottle is 15ml I think just to give you some idea of how small that really is. Why so small? Did you get to ask questions?
