My short stay at Derriford!

Tag and the result (in double dutch).

Follow up from last post.

Woke at 0320 and saw 0500 then the next thing I expected was the alarm at 0530 but Sue forgot to set it and so it was 0552 when I next looked at the clock!
So started all behind with the way I had had it planned, still got it all sorted in time and Stella arrived at 0640 to get me to Derriford by 0800.
Oh I did inwardly laugh? Stella had gone her usual way so that she knew it and got lost! So funny but we still arrived at 0730 and then sat about until 0800.

Sue and Stella went off for a McDonalds breakfast and some retail therapy.

Chatting to the nurse Darren I discovered that he had spent the weekend in Trowbridge to attend a party, as his wife is a Trowbridge girl. He stayed at Silver Street Lane and better than that the party that they attended is at the very place that Antonia's wedding is at on the 31st of August!!!! He says it is a lovely venue, so that is something to look forward to. Needless to say, IT IS A SMALL WORLD!

I was first to be admitted as I was first on the list as I had come the furthest, (thank you Lord) scheduled for 0930 as it turned out as we had to sign our lives away at 0900 when we expected to begin.
After 10 or 15 minutes chatting to the staff while they ensured I was comfy so boss man came in and explained the procedure and we started.
25 minutes later and it was all over and I was on my way back to recover and the next one was on his way down. I was made comfortable. 4 patients and 4 nurses, Darren, Vicky (sticky Vicky) Olivia and Anthony by name, quite a good ratio. All staff were very professional, helpful and pleasant. I would even go as far as saying wonderful.
Fed coffee and a bacon sandwich and more coffee and more coffee, and very nice it was as well!
After a couple of hours of obs and letting air out of the wrist tourniquet I was done and just waiting the result.
They told me I should be finished, seen boss man and ready to go by about 1315 so I duely asked Sue and Stella to pick me up then.
Needless to say I was ready but not finished so was delayed but at least it meant that Sue was there when boss man was seen and had some input!
Result is that it looks like I may be having a heart bypass op sometime but that is to be confirmed and it will not be until hopefully after our holiday to Scotland next month.
