5am LIGHTS ON. Time to take blood from an artery to measure blood gases. The doctor has an extremely good bedside manner so I let her off the disturbance pretty quickly. Even if it does take her 2 goes to get the sample - ouch.
Doze off.
6am LIGHTS ON. Doctor Charming returns. Seems she has had a couple of equipment failures that mean she will have to do it all over again, in the other arm this time. Two attempts again. I am very understanding ;-)
8:15am Munched my breakfast already. Just need the Registrar to come and let me go. Fingers crossed!
11:45am Seen the Docs. Been given all the gory details and nasty possible outcomes. Asked lots of questions, including about being able to keep the bits of bone they remove afterwards, which some of the more macabre of you have suggested.Signed the consent form. Confirmed that I can come back to the same room tomorrow night.
Free to go. Outtahere!
6:55pm Chilling at my folks. Had nice visit from Beth, an old friend. Looking forward to meal out tonight
