Pre Op today
After table tennis training with the twins (Martin's going to teach me evil new serves when I'm convalescing) we went to Jules' last night for cheesecake and tales of Switzerland where she had a good time with Joy. They checked the blog so now there is a tiny patch of green on the stats map. I've got a hit from Sam in Ghana too and one from Alaska (which must be a mistake?).
Great dinosaur picture from Lucas in the post. Modern toddlers huh? - it says 2 Diana!
Tests for MRSA , blood pressure and stuff this afternoon. I'm terrified I'll get a cold and the anaesthetist will say No Go! I took things a bit far on Google last night and watched some Anterior Resections on video. I did feel a bit queasy. If I was on a desert island I'm guessing I would be unable to take a sharp flint to myself. I'll check it out this afternoon but I think the op will be several lots of keyhole surgery (they'll take out the lymph nodes too). Last week's Evening news said the N&N has been criticised for using old fashioned kit for Keyhole Surgery which, in Norfolk, does indeed suggest a pointy flint or maybe a rusty jail key. I have no doubt that this was out of date news and the instruments are now the required Gold Standard.
I do feel extremely positive about the operation and surgeon, but once again, reading newspapers and books mitigates against this. I've just finished 'The Suspicions of Mr Whitcher' in which 3 people die of an obstructed bowel. No more reading for me - where's Ellie's mix mp3s?
