Back home already
 

Well my instructions were to report to the main reception at 8.00 for ward 3 to have my nose straightened, 10 past 8 they decide to check my notes and are interrupted by a theatre nurse. The major who is first in is a no show. can they get me down there for 8:30.

I walk in bang in time, a cannula stuck in my hand, a mask on my face and I wake up at 9:15 in the recovery suite. Off to ward 3 for tea/toast and daughter collects me at 10:00.

All very efficient, I have not to drink alcohol or drive for 48 hours or blow my nose for a week.


Well done Royal Preston Hospital. when the system work, it works very well.

Glad it went smoothly for you - my recent gastroscopy was the same deal, bada-bing, bada-boom and out. Great when the system works!

Matts hip op was the same. Get in, have it done, walk out day after.

No alcohol for 48 hours? How will you cope? :D

Speed is one thing, effectiveness is another. Will your former boyish looks return or will your face be left looking like a hod-carrier's elbow? ;-)

Glad it went well for you - some good news for a change :-)

Did they straighten your toe at the same time?
Good to hear some good news for a change.

Heal fast Tim, take it easy though and no falling off skate boards because that hurts too. Glad it went well.
