Timings

Up at 5am,  to pick up Alberta to take the hospital for 6:30am.

Into the gown, seen by six medical staff, a wait of about three and a half hours... and the op was cancelled. Very frustrating all round.

Had to sleep for a couple of hours to be safe enough for the three hour drive home again.

So that's the end of my Christmas break - back in the office tomorrow. Hope I can remember how to do it all.
