Well, well, well. Wonders will never cease! Firstly it was a very charming and very efficient young lady on the check in desk who checked me in in about 5 minutes flat and actually requested the private room for me then and there. Then along the corridor to the anaethetist. Filled in a quick form, no-one else waiting, straight in!
Blow me down, it was the nice lady anaethetist who had been summoned to explain why I'd had the burning sensation last time and she recognised me (not difficult - fat, British bird with dodgy hips!) I told her I still had no sensation in that area and she proposed a possible other method of pain relief post op. Yet again SHE won't be there so goodness know what I shall end up with!! I've opted for the full-on GA this time. It worked okay last time so why not?
The bloods were okay but she laughed when she took my blood pressure - 158/110!!! Crikey WAY WAY above my normal rate (I have a regular more or less monthly checks as I take thyroid medication). She said it was an "emotional" rise and just put lots of exclamation marks next to it.
Now I am counting down the days...once more!
Ooo one more thing. I didn't have a blood transfusion last time but I did have my own blood recycled and transfused back into me. Ewww how yucky is that? Still, safe in the knowledge I have no French in me! LOL!
