Enjoy the day Karen-
do you have a long list of questions?

I did Poppet but stupidly didn't write them down and now my mind has gone blank.

But ...

When was last outbreak of MRSA at the hospital?
How many incidents in the year previous to that?

And that's all I can remember just now.

I'm sure someone told me they'd NEVER had MRSA there-
so it's a good question-also is it still worth using Hibiscrub(shower gel) before going into hosp?
I'm also going to ask how long is the bypassed "bit"?

OK I'm all done and dusted. Very productive day

Saw Cath first (the nurse). She was really lovely and full of information. She weighed me, worked out BMI and went through everything possible. Then saw Jenny the dietician. Again really lovely and informative. Went through what I've eaten in past, what I can eat at various stages after surgery. Both gave me their cards and I can ring or email them at any time. Then had bloods taken - buckets of it lol.

Asked lots of questions but can't remember everything that was said. Luckily hubby can and it's all written in the literature I was given too. One thing that intrigued me is that they follow NHS guidelines and test all NHS referred patients for MRSA prior to admission. But they DON'T TEST PRIVATE PATIENTS UNLESS THEY IN THE AT RISK GROUP They've never had an incident of MRSA but I wonder how much of that is down to good luck.

So, then went for a lovely healthy tea in Didsbury and made our way over to the Alexandra to see Mr Ammori. Everybody was quite right - he's adorable. I told him he was a GOD on this site and he looked all bashful bless him - then said he would take good care of me (lol maybe he thinks I might give him a bad review otherwise).

He did say my stay would normally only be 1 night but as I had help at home for the children I could stay two nights if I wanted. I said yes please lol. I need the rest.

So I'm all set for Saturday morning. Apparently I'm first on the list to go down.

Good luck for today. Best wishes x

Wow I'm suprised about the MRSA tests.. sounds like everything else went swimmingly. x
