The op will be around 1.00pm tomorrow so I hope the theatre team don't eat too much pudding at lunch. They'll start off with keyhole but may need to go larger. We won't know for a week or so if the lymph nodes are diseased (and if I'll need chemo). I should be tubeless by and eating sometime on Friday, so fit to listen to Norwich Leeds on Saturday. The lack of appeal of the hospital's food is addressed as part of the pre op - I'm advised to ask visitors to bring white bread ham sandwiches, victoria sponge and baby bels! I'm allowed breakfast at 6am and will check into the Day Procedure unit at 11am. Had to stop off at TK Maxx on the way home to get a dressing gown so I look decent on the way to surgery. Shell pursuaded me not to get the wrestler gown embroidered with skulls and 'Death Before Dishonour'.
Apparently I can text to update my blog so the next thing you read might be some Aldous Huxley like ramble!
Good luck for the op hon, will be thinking of you.

Loadsa love Diana - weird thought to keep with you: my dad had the op you're having and was told by his surgeon that post op, they run water through the colon until it's 'so clean that the Houseman can drink it'. Your day may yet turn out to be better than his!

Hi Hun - Lou and I have been thinking of yer today as we were painting me nan's bedroom a hideous shade of peach would have made you ill just to look at it. Hope all went well today and no hospital food is not the best perhaps i can sneak in a couple of beers.... Recently bought a bottle of sherry for crimbo but had the last of it tonight just seems to evaporate when u open it strange that it happened to the vodka too. An idea how long they will keep you in. Jen has just returned from France she had awful time no doubt she will tell you all when we catch up, Brooksie popped round to see me for coffee last week first time since March she gave me a few dvds to pass on to yer. See yer soon lots of love Frankie xxxxxx
