Good morning, They let me out at 10am and I'm now answering all the lovely phone calls, emails and messages.
I was called up to the operating theatre at 1pm, as Tony says, but then had to wait for a couple of hours outside the theatre as my consultant was on his was back from a hospital in Haywards Heath as was the anaesthetist, who on arrival couldn't find a parking space. The anaesthetist said that with the diabetes a general anaesthetic was too risky and he wanted to do a 'spinal block'. I really didn't want this as I'd had no pre med and am very squeamish about anything to do with my spine or my eyes. I'd had an epidural go wrong when I had Ian (it went up instead of down and had to be turned on my side)
Anyway he was very persuasive and he won. The block numbs you from the waist to your toes, rather like the injection you have at the dentists. I was also given oxygen and a fluid drip. I was so cold all the time too. I was able to hear all that Mr Larsen-Disney said during the procedure and even able to watch my insides on the screen if I wished!
It took almost three hours for the lower half of my body to 'come back', during which time I had to be flat on my back. It was the weirdest feeling. It's not easy to drink a cup of tea through a straw whilst flat out! But it did taste good and it warmed me up again.
He removed some large polyps and did a D&C and he told me that he is 90% certain there is no cancer but has sent everything off to be checked. So now I have to wait for the results.
I feel much happier now and no ill effects apart from slightly 'wobbly' legs and a dragging pain, and at last the bleeding has stopped.
Thank you all so much for your concern, it's been much appreciated.
Just as a postscript; as Dave left from visiting me last night he picked up a missed call on his mobile. My almost 86 year old father was in A&E at the same hospital. He has overturned his mobility scooter and broken his humorous. The things he'll do to try and upstage me.
