Wednesday - The Excitement Mounts

Admission time was 3:30pm on a Wednesday. So I kept myself busy that day at work, skipping lunch so I was fasted for 6 hours for the operation.

I arrived at the hospital at 3:30 and I have to say I became quite nervous. I hadn't been up until this point. - excited but not nervous. So I was surprised by the way I felt. But the nurses at the hospital were great! They had a very calming presents about them that soon rubbed off on me. Not too long after the nurses had done all their admission work with me the anaesthetist came In to Introduce her self and go through the type of anaesthetic we were going to use, we had decided it would make the operation easier and more successful If we used local anaesthetic with sedation. That way I could still be awake enough to move around for my surgeon during the procedure but keeping the area numb.

Mr Vadodaria came In to 'mark me'. Confirming yet again what we were going to do. I started to get nervous again...don’t know why as I was the one who decided I wanted to get this done. It frustrated me that I felt like this as usually It takes a lot to make me feel nervous. So decided It was probably also due to the fact that I was hungry that made me more emotional than normal.
