I had never ever been in hospital in my life before my replacement, so I do understand how anxious he is, but he will be fine I promise. It'll be over before he knows it. On the day of my op, I showered while everyone had their breakfast, was taken down at 9.30, and back on the ward eating my lunch at 1.00.

	Hazel. If he's had his pre -assessment I hope they took time to explain everything in fine detail with him. I get so annoyed when patients say they don't know. You get all anxious before you meet the doc and then when he/she is in front of you your mind goes blank and you forget all the things you wanted to ask. PM me when he goes in if you need any advice etc. Di

Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 5,866 Send Message	Hi All iv'e just asked OH again about what was done and said and he said that they couldn't get any blood from him at the Abergele hospital where he is going to have the op so when they finished with him he went on down to the main hospital which is Glan Clwyd and they took his blood so that has to be sent back to the Abergele hospital yet. so maybe thats why he hasn't had a date .

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 23,508 Send Message	Forgot about that bit (as you do lol) Yes I had a catheter until the epi had worn off and I was able to get to the loo...so it was about 4 days I think.. My bed was the furthest you could get from the loo in my ward, but at least it was by the window...can't have everything lol
