Blog day 4 night time Friday 1st October

All I remember about today is being collected from the ward and taken to the operating theatre, there I was met by "julie" who despite all her efforts to be as chirpy and cheerful as possible could not hide the fact that she had a very bad cold, as she was checking my details matched hers you couldn't help but wonder if she really should have been in work with such a cold and to be meeting people as they go into theatre, here I seemed to be waiting for ages before someone came for me.

Eventually I was wheeled into the operating room by a very nice man who chatted and put me at ease (apart from divuldging the fact that he used to work in Bradford at the scrap yard on Bowling back lane) nice dramatic change of career there then wasn't there!!

After trying for what seemed like ages to get a needle into my left hand they decided to give up and place one in ny right hand, I must say all the team were very nice and made you feel quite relaxed and at ease, for some reason the anaesthetic wasn't setting in so more was hastily added after telling me a few times I should be asleep by now, apparently I was given quite a large dosage that should have knocked me out straight away, maybe if they stopped talking to me and asking me questions then I would fall asleep, after all that's what I get told at home "shut up and you will go to sleep" logical, well it worked, next thing I knew I was being woken up in the recovery room, everything had gone well but boy was I tired and sore.

Dozing in and out of consciousness I was wheeled back to my bed where I stayed for the rest of the day and night only briefly Waking to see Curtis sat there wondering if I was going to talk or not, hahaha talk, I couldn't even stumble 2 words together I did manage to apologise enough times in between pressing for the morphine button, wow this shits good!!!

Eventually I dozed off again to find that morning had come around and it was that time again .....6am!!! Why do they need to do our blood pressure at that time of day? Most of us are dead and those that aren't have usually been wandering around the ward all night that their blood pressure is up anyway!!
