Good luck with the surgery.
I remember when i went in for my little triffling operation at Blackburn Royal.
The Anesthetist was late has he had got lost on the way to the ward (brand new hospital) to do the pre op checks/sign consent forms etc.
then being told it might be a little wait while a bed was free/time of surgery.
5 mins later got taken to a ward bed… oh and get into the gown its time to go.
Wandered through the hospital in my backless gown, (thankfully was allowed to wear my dressing gown with the trainee nurse and the missus down to the theatre prep room.
Once in to be anesthetized – one of the last things i remember hearing was from one of the chaps saying – "why are we using this? far too expensive for a little operation like this, ah well never mind"
then when waking up in recovery – the first thing i said will you let my wife know… they asked her number, i gave it. but got the last 6 numbers the wrong way round instead of saying 123 456, i said 456 123. So some poor sod got a message to say 'your husband is out of theatre now' 😆
