30th September 2010

Well here I am fit and well lol. Made it to Nottingham and back, was only there about 3 hrs in the end.  From previous posts you will know I have only ever had one letter of communciation from QMC with details of yesterdays appointment and guess what they got it wrong. Wrong wing, wrong clinic. Sometimes I have to wonder about this place. Met my aaesthetist, a junior doctor from my team and a few nurses. Had bloods taken, alot acutally, felt really drained. They did weight, height, eye tests all the usual stuff. I then spent ages answering questions and having manual handling tests of my face bones. He was lovely but did make me cry, sticking pins in my face and making me do facial expressions that hurt. Supposedly operation is on the 12th and will take a minimum of 5 hrs. Have been informed I will have needles in places I didnt know I had places... Seems the fact I had a blood transusion 28 years ago is causing concern, but no idea at this time why. They were all very nice, but its getting closer and I'm getting anxious...
