We're counting down to op day AGAIN

Tomorrow we're at the local doctors to have blood and urine tests as part of the Pre Op assessment and although it's a relief we don't have to go all the way to Birmingham to do it again, it opens up the possibility of another glitch in the system and that is we can't get the results to them in time. We've tried to cover every base, we have the results from the blood and urine from a week ago which were fine and that will be sent, we'll also take it with us to make sure it gets there, but we can't be sure we can get the results of tomorrows tests quickly enough. We can only keep our fingers crossed.

Emotionally, the nerves are beginning to build again. It needs to be done, we've fought hard to get it done, but so many things can go wrong that it's also very scary. 

From tomorrow Mark also has to stop taking one of his drugs and after a couple of days when it's out of his system, his pain gets worse. We just have to get this done!!
