Well, the laundry is up to date, the house is clean, the freezer is full, post-it notes for my men are around the place, my toenails are cut,my bag is packed.  Just about to wax my legs and treat my feet to some  loving care!

07:00 tomorrow I shall be in the hosp.  Wish me luck.

By the way has everyone else had to shower and wash their hair in Hibiscrub for 5 days?  It's ghastly.  I used to scrub up in theatre so knew how drying it was but at least that was only my hands!  What is the hospital's contribution to preventing MRSA as we seem to be doing all their work for them?  Anyhoo, it's a load of tosh if you know anything about these things.  Even have to take the bottle back in....guess they want to check how much I've used.

Cheers to all.  Will be back in touch post-op.  Pam x

    Hi Pam how organised are you ! Brilliant you've obviously been taking notes from the site, for nails cut ( I wish I'd read that)

    Legs waxed. Its all going on there.

    I had to hibiscrub night before op and hair and again in morning but just body. That seemed to be different even between 2 hospitals in Norwich.

    Good luck and I look forward to hearing your updates post op!

    Hi Pam,

    I say ditto to the previous comments, except I'll substitute icecream for chocolates lol.

    On a more serious note though, everything of the best for tomorrow and I look forward to reading how you are doing.

    You're also in my prayers.

    Regards

    Carole
