Hey all, due to all your support and all the diaries posted i think its time to give everyone something back and write my own diary and the good experience i have had through the NHS and the surgeon Mr Fortune Iwuagwu.
Saturday 28/03/09
I got to the hospital at 8 am and was sitting in the day room for an incredible 3 hours lol they did come and apologize and told me that there was an emergency thats why i haven't been seen yet. Never the less i didn't care about that, all i cared about was how thirsty i was lol. The head nurse came and took me into a room where my blood pressure was taken as well as my chest measurements and leg measurements for the vest and sexy stockings lol. I got send to my room which was a single room and i was happy bout that, had my own TV and a great view actually
at about 2 o clock the surgeon came in and apologized, he told me that there was a emergency (later on i found out it was a guy that chopped his hand of and due to my surgeon being a specialist in hand and breast reconstruction he had to perform surgery) we had a chat of how the final procedures will be, he drew on my chest told me how it would go, not to worry and i signed the papers stating what was to be done.
Then the anesthetist came in and told me how he would procede, i told him i was terrified of needles so he actually done me the favor of giving me a tiny little injection that numbed my arm so he could slide in the canule thingy.
I was then taken on my bed to a room just before the theater where i then got connected to all these machines... (bit freaky) i then got the injection as said and the anesthetic. i took 3 deep breaths of oxygen and started counting 10 - 9 - 8 i was going to ask how quick this works and i was already gone lol!
It seemed to me like a second later that i woke up feeling GREAT! i never felt so good lol i had the nurse sitting beside me just like she said she would that told me that it was a full on success. at this point all i could think of was having a pee lol i needed one soooo bad i filled up almost 2 of those pee bottles (peeing laying down is the worst and most awkward things u can do lol) i got taken back to my room where my misses was waiting for me which was really nice it was now about 5 pm.
I got lots of water and a tee with some biscuits which i was happy about. about an hour later i had my dinner standing there ready which actually tasted really nice. Chicken with vegetables, potatoes and gravy yummi lol i rinsed the whole plate and as for the desert i had a trifle and the cheek to ask for another one which i got aswell lol. Due to it being so late i then stayed for the night which i didn't mind. I was in quite a bit of discomfort though so i asked for pain relief and got oralmorph which made me feel great again
(what a wicked stuff)
Sunday 29/03/09
i woke up and i got my medicine and breakfast (i had some weatabix) i was told that i was able to leave that day if i feel fit enough which i did. I slept almost all day because of the medicine, got woken up for lunch which was a nice roast dinner (also fresh and good tasting) i scuffed it all down again lol.
at about 4 pm the nurses checked on me and gave me all the papers inc little manuals on what to do to prevent infections, scaring etc etc which was really good! i then signed the leaving forms and at about 4:30 i was out of the hospital and was taken home by a mate.
I must really say, St Andrews at broomfield hospital (the billericay ward) is amazing! sooo nice and caring nurses! not a single one that was in a bad mood or stressy! and the surgeon i had has done a amazing job! all in all i must say i am really happy that i have done this and the NHS has done a superb job and i can only recommend the hospital and surgeon!!!
When i got home it was basically just laying on the sofa like a lazy person lol my misses made us a nice dinner and after that i went to bed. surprisingly i fell asleep straight away.

Got woken up by my dog lol he was sitting with his head on the bed beside mine and OMG his breath STANK! ROFL he knew that i wasn't well i think, thats how he acted at least
Got a nice breakfast made by my misses again and then had my tablets. It was another lazy day as all i done was sit on the sofa and moan how uncomfortable i was lol (not pain! just discomfort)
Tuesday 31/03/09
Again a bit of a lazy day. My wounds are starting to itch though which is pretty annoying lol. I got fed up with sitting indoors so i decided to go for a walk to my work and hand them in the sick note
half way back i got dizzy though and i was glad to be back home and on the sofa.
