The operation went well, despite some hospital politics causing a very emotional start to the day yesterdayUnderstaffing and an emergency in another ward today, combined with dodgy hospital equipment meant that Mrs Sew Funky was with out pain meds for three hours this morning (before I arrived) which set her recovery back a bit.A very tiring day for Geekeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18259357191873885086noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525709060004537902.post-31750173171667731112009-12-03T14:37:00.001+13:002009-12-03T14:38:36.171+13:00
So, tomorrow morning I'm going to be getting my surgery done. I'm feeling a lot better about it all. There were a few hard days, namely yesterday and Tuesday, when it actually hit me that I am going through with it all. I am feeling upheld by the prayers of everyone around me and much more ready to do this thing! :)
