Now for the time preceeding the surgery...i got to the hospital at 6:30 and was weighed (OMG shock horror) and told to put these on (gown, paper knickers, dressing gown and embolism stockings)

Got that done...then had to give a pee sample(oh the joys of aiming into a little cup)

Then i get dragged off for an ECG...passed that no probs...Surgeon comes in armed with his camera, notes and black permanant marker *LOL*

I then stand against the wall while he clicks away at varying angles, then sit on the bed while he measures and doodles away on me boobs......i swear by the time he's finished it looked like an inner city road map *LOL*

From thre i get taken to the waiting room....where the anaethatist drops by to have a chat....turns out he's not the one i was exxpecting *L*....but i preferred this one....he told me i was disgustingly healthy for a person of my weight....he runs trough the risks and stuff then he was off

In walks a thatre nurse to take me to theatre....so off we mosey....first thing that come to mind was the table...it looked like Jesus's cross *LOL*
So anyway i park meself on the bed while they adjust and get it all ready....i get the massage doovies put around my legs to help prevent clots...then a heating blanket get put on top.

The assistant surgeon introduces himself...and he was such a lovely guy....he chattered away merrily....and he hid the anaethetists coffee *LOL* reckons it was payback cause he was late *LOL*

Assistant surgeon put a drip in my hand cause the anaethetist was late...so they were all ready and just waiting

I was not at all nervous...i was excited as though

In walks the anaethetist finally *LOL*....he turned to me and says i'm here to give you some drugs...i laughed and he picked up the drip and thats all i remember of before the op
