Well operation date looms and I for one am getting quite jittery about it. Anyway today we had to trail all the way down to Birmingham to get Marks pre op assessment done and I thought we were talking to the surgeon as well to discuss in more detail just what was going to happen next week. But I was wrong!! Not the first time as Mark would remind everyone lol.
He had blood pressure done, copious forms filled in, urine tests, ECG and blood test. Now, I ask you, in this day and age of modern technology, why Mark couldn't have all those tests done at a local hospital and sent down to Birmingham. Three hour drive to get there, two and half hours in the hospital and another three hour drive home again, what a waste of resources!!
Long and short of it, he's fit enough for the op and now we have to wait for a call next Tuesday afternoon to confirm they have a bed. We might not get that call until 4pm or after and if they say there is a bed for him, we have to set off toot sweet and get down there. Admissions normally close at 8pm but they will have to hold that open for us if we can't get down there by then. So in a way we're still on tender hooks and still don't really know if it's going to happen next Wednesday or not....... watch this space.
