Pain and Discomfort

Today was operation day. I went into hospital for 7.30am and then had to wait until 2.15 to go down to theatre.

Now I don't know about anyone else but, when I have to wait around my nervousness get worse and I start to worry more and each minute passes so, by the time I got to the anaesthetic room I was shakey and emotional.

I woke up from the op about two hours after, at 4.30 and woke to pain and discomfort. I was given lots of morphine and paracetamol to help get me more comfortable and then taken back to the ward. At 5.30 I was up and out of bed walking around to try and encourage the air that was pumped into me out. Lucien picked me up at 6 and I was discharged at 6.30.

When I got home I had a chance to say night to Alice and have something to eat and drink.

I am now drugged as much as I am allowed and off to bed for, hopefully, a long and restful sleep.
