Today I am tired, cranky sore and cranky - have I said cranky already?
I feel exhausted, I think yesterday took it out of me. It was such a long day and I didn't nap while the family were here. It was definitely worth it, but I am paying for it.
After a breakfast of the usual jam and bread, I push the boat out and have a coffee instead of a tea. There are no physios in today so it is up to me to make sure I move from bed to chair safely. I am not able to walk around or anything yet but I can shuffle into my chair.
After having a wash in the chair I start to feel really unwell. The nurse comes to check me and tells me I am hot, my BP is way too low and that my heart rate is now high. I don't understand what any of this means but am put back into bed.
Four hours later I waken. Thankfully the lovely lady that pushes the tea trolley has stopped at me bed and woken me. She tells me I have slept through lunch but would I like some tea and cake. And I would, and it is lovely. I feel much better - whether it was the sleep or the cake I don't know! But I am very grateful for the tea lady.
I'm having the same surgery in Leeds with the prof at LGI, how did yours go and how's your progress?
