Pre op stuff today - I've been probed with cotton swabs (nurse stuck 'em up my nose to check for mrsa - I thought she was going to come out the top of my skull she rammed it up there so high and hard!). Swabs from groin too (she's glad I was "tidy"). I've had an ECG - I wandered in and wondered if she'd like me to take my cardi off -"chest bare dear!" barked different nurse. I wibbled, left my bra on - "Completely bare!" came the slightly gruffer command. It's bizarre - I'd psyched myself up for downstairs probage and was greatly disconcerted to have to get topless. As it was, groin swab aside, my downstairs didn't get an airing today. I've had blood taken and temperature (quite why she took that today I don't know, I'm guessing it may change by Monday morning). Blood pressure ("Hmm, well you're doing something right.") and general instructions given.

7.30am I've to be at the ward. It's good I guess, that thi sis bugging me more thna the op itself at this point. My Denial is Strong.

oh my goodness, so poked and prodded and pried at....

FYI, I used to do 12-lead ekg's on people, and you don't have to take your bra off if the tech knows what they are doing. The nurse was being overly-cautious and a pain... but I guess that's no consolation now, huh.....

Your nurse sounds scary. 7.30 is a rubbish time to have to be anywhere, but mostly I hope it's not too stressing.

did I miss something? Are you having the hysterectomy?

Why does the preliminary stuff always seem so much weirder than the actual medical procedure?

Hang in!

7.30 is a terrible thought, nobody should have to do something important at 7.30. I hope everything goes well. ::LOVES::
