Surgery
Well I had my surgery yesterday. I've had a Knee Arthroscopy, which means keyhole surgery on my knee, they have removed the fibrous particules in my cartilige.
It was a long day yesterday.... due to a clerical error me n Julie turned up at the hospital at 10am nearly 3 hrs early. So that peed me off as we both haven't been sleeping well so we could of done with the extra time in bed. Poor Julie could barely keep her eyes open by 9pm.
I had my surgery about 2pm. The surgeon spent less then 5 mins with me and most of that time he jus snorted and hacked up loogies. ewwww. Really couldnt understand him either as he was foreign. The Anaesthetist was more helpfull explained the procedure quite easily and clearly. I went under quite quickly as i dont even remember the Anaesthetist counting. Lol I had a student nurse accompany to the theatre and a medical student with the Anaesthetist.
Atleast i now know how i react to anaesthetics. I'm very bloody emotional as when I woke up at 4pm, all i wanted to do was go home and go ta bed and cos i couldn't i started crying. Julie says i have a very cute puppy dog face. They let me home jus after 6pm, once i had a drink, sum food and been to the loo. Havta say that the majority of the staff that looked after me were really nice and pleasent.
I did summat stupid last nite tho and made myself cry when i tried ta go to the toilet at home... bent my knee too much. Think i scared the shit outta julie when i came out the bog crying. when i said what i'd done she gave me a big cuddle and helped me get settled in back in bed.
Surprisingly tho it wasnt my knee that kept waking me up last nite it was this sore throat i started down with n tuesday. so now i not only have a swollen sore knee but i have a bad cough and sore throat too. bummer.
Anyway I am now lyin on the settee ., bored sore, tired and achey. Am gunna take some co-codamol and have a nap i think.... if i can get comfy.
