Well, the pre-op was horrid (pessaries in my vagina to dilate my cervix) and before I went to theatre I was curled up in tears.

There were tears as in the theatre ward the nurse repeated to me the purpose of the op, and I just burst into tears all over again.

However, I  woke much better, and actually said to the nurse, "oh no, I am late, I overslept, I have to go to hospital today" She told me she was a neighbour of mine, I think I fell asleep and woke 3 times over, after each waking saying something like "I am sorry, did you say you were my neighbour or did I imagine that?"

The op was Thursday, I got back to the ward around 1pm, but it seems due to a lack of a doctor to discharge me, and then some poor communication at night handover, I stayed the night, coming home at around 10:30 this am.

I am in some pain now, and my poor family had to put up with a very grumpy me when I fell asleep this afternoon and then woke in a foul grumpy mood.

I do, however, feel like I can start to mend both physically and emotionally now.
