AGAAAAAAAIN

Now some of you may remember my pre-op check from last year...and guess what im still obnoxiously healthy lol.

I had the same nurse who did the pre-op last year (and she remembered me, how scary is that lol).

Anyway...bp is 120/60 bordering low/normal..no probs...weight 10st 2..have lost 2 nd half stone in 8 weeks..bmi of 26 which is spot on, blood oxygen levels are 98 (are you sure you smoke...well yeah) the best you can get is 99 (i chuckled lots), I had an ecg done and that was 87 which is spot on..hmmm are you sure your in hospital and not the pub lol.  My bloods are up to 49 which is smashing. My heart shows no damage and my lungs show no damage..and in her words I am still obnoxiously healthy even more than what I was last year...oooo i did chuckle.  She said that if she hadnt physically seen with her own eyes my scar etc and known what ive gone through all this year she said there are NO medical signs of any of it at all..she said she was expecting to have to fail me for surgery this close to finishing treatment..but yet again im defying the medical books.

Shes never met anyone like me, and says I should write a book, she gave me a massive hug as she says im an inspiration and that more people should be more like me.

she said i would have a pca thing for the morphine...i said id prefer it to be continuous rather than be in pain and have to press a button and then wait for it.  she said to speak to the doc about it, but most people prefer to be in control of their own pain relief..i said..not me, hate pain, am not a good patient with pain so just whack it in continuous..its more fun that way lol.  I can take my mobile cos the hozzie changed its policy in january but cant take the signs down cos when the corridors got painted they went round the signs instead of taking them down..oooops lol.

she said shell pop up and see me and will find me some jelly just in case they havent got any at the ward already.  Not to worry about patient visiting times at all as it will be open book for me (see told you i was special), shes going to try and sort out a room to myself, im the baby of the group in for the op so they will probably do that anyway...cos i cant see you behaving with the little old ladies on the ward..nope will start a riot!  I will get jabbed in the belly twice a day..oh joy.  she asked again what I was like after an anaesthetic...and i said violent..ooo whys that is it a reaction to the anaesthetic...erm nope...a reaction to the needle lol.  Its the last thing I remember when I go under..and the fight or flight thing is null and void then...but its the first thing i remember on coming round...so dont stand to close cos i will lash out.  So thats been written in big letters...cos i do remember the last time..being asked a stupid question...helllooooo are you in pain...welll duuuuuur..and then lashing out then feeling a little pinprick to knock me out again...ooops.

Ive asked if they will be able to use my left arm at all, and she says no, under no circumstances is my bp, needles or anything to go in my left arm at all...and shes written it in big letters on the forms.  Hmm...well if everything is going in my right arm dont know if my veins are up to it in my hand...well thats alright im sure hell find one somewhere.  she apologised cos they have to do my bloods next week..its just to find out what blood group i am and to order some in and to check for antibodies...i was clever and said..rhesus negative, both my girls were negative so havent got the antibodies..dont need the needle...nice try steph but we still have to do it..darn it!

So there we go...im obnoxiously healthy, with no physical signs medically wise of any treatment at all from this last year.

Right going to scoot now, take isla to nursery, pick tasja up from school and go see my seriously fit in a major phwoarrrrsome way dentist lol

I guess that means you couldn't be in better shape for the op then hon.

Good luck with the op and hoping the needle count doesn't rise too much for you babe.

Don't really understand about blood-pressures etc but you seem happy so that's good.

How was the Phwoar dentist ?

Hun at least something's going right in your life, even if it is ironic!

Blood pressure is fanastic, that of a teenager nearly!

At least it's peace of mind that they will be looking after you properly, and it'll be like your amongest friends, well at least it might be like that till they appear with the needles!

Good luck hun xx
