    Thinking of you for tomorrow, Relax, think nice thoughts and remember the surgeon,anaesthists,and nurses all know what they are doing they do this sort of thing umpteen time a day, You will be fine, What time do you need to be in hospital ?

    Take care and look forward to hearing from you when you get home.

      Good luck Sally, will be thinking of you tomorrow.  It would be great if you could get 'first down', I was second, and it was great.

      Do some meditation it really helps, YouTube have some great ones under Relaxing Meditation.  Let us know how you get on.

      Love

    My hospital don't get the theatre list until 5pm the night before and that is when they start to phone patients to let them know what time to be there the next morning.I went in on April 7th which was also after a bank holiday and because the elective stay surgery doesn't open bank holidays i had the phone call on the previous Thurs to say that i had to be there at 7.15am and i was 5th on the list.When the consultant saw me on thd day he told me i would probably be going to theatre about 12.30pm but the list could change.The lady after me ended up going before me and i finally went down at 5pm.Is there anyone available at your hospital that you could talk to today to try and find out where you are on the list.

    Good luck for tomorrow. In 24 hours it will all be done and you'll be recovering. Take something to occupy as most hospitals call everyone in at 745 ish for that days list so you could be any point. It may be worth mentioning about anxiety attacks as they may move you sooner. You'll be fine xx

    It's norml to cry before, I had a few days once I got home of crying a little like the baby blues, if i didn't have a reason to cry I would find something. Time flies by after  you will notice improvements each day, you will soon be feelling better
