Waiting

Operation was scheduled for 1.00 so No.1 was prepped and ready but it was delayed for an hour or so which didn't help my anxiety levels.  I was also told it would be around an hour and a half so I kept my phone on and was waiting, waiting, waiting.  I didn't move very far from the hospital ward apart from a walk to M&S and then lunch in the sunshine.  M&S do well in these places and a few days ends up being ££ what with car parking (£15 yesterday).  How do people on low income manage?  However I digress, it also makes me smile what people eat sometimes.  Last night the lady in the opposite bed had her three daughters all chatting nineteen to the dozen, eating an Indian takeaway!  Today, in the corridor there was a family eating Chinese takeaway...........I can't eat (much less cr*p takeaways when I am anxious).

Anyway - I eventually got a call around 5.00 to say surgery had gone well and she was in recovery having a cup of tea and digestive biscuit.  Relief but still a long way to go ..............

Onwards and upwards again.
