Surgery, tomorrow.

I'm in the Starship Teen Lounge and am so glad I have the internet you have no idea! But kinda gay I don't have a webcam.. Although I do have my laptop, this computer has the vodaphone usb pluggy in thing for internet.. so i doubt they have wifi?

Today they took blood tests and I saw loads of different people! The anesthiaist, physio, nurses, a gp kinda guy, one of the English surgeons and the main surgeon Dr. Crawford will come see me later I think. So, tomorrow I'll get woken up at around 7am, then have a shower and apply this disinfectant stuff on my skin where my spine is, then get the thing to stick in my hand to make me go to sleep. I get to choose when I get my anxiety meds but apparently they're going to give it to me right before I go into theatre?

Complications.. I just thought that it would be paralisation etc, but nooo theres blindness aswell! Apparently any surgery where the patient has to lie on their tummy has a chance of becoming blind :(. I'm not as scared as I thought I'd be but it'll hit me soon I think.. I'm staying in room 11 right now but I'll move to another room which will be more spacious and private due to spinal surgery being a serious op.

Thanks everyone for all your hugs, prayers, and messeges of support :)
I'll be dandy as a dandilion soon enough :)
