Packing my hospital bag!!

by franky2512 30th August 2012, 12:20 pm

Can't believe I'm already packing my hospital bag! Feels so early but will only have a couple of hours till I travel to the hospital after my holiday! So worried I'm going to forget things, checked the list 10 times to make sure I don't.

Dreamed two nights in a row about surgery now =( keep freaking myself which is so silly! Not long now good luck to all girls having BA's September xxx

My BA is on the 10th Hun but go on holiday tomorrow till the 9th! I'm having 470 or something along those lines depending on what will fit in as I'm only a C now! But had a little one so there's a little space to fill, I don't no what's with the dreams it's really strange! Well good luck for Tuesday summersunshine! I'm sure we'll both be fine!

I had a list of what to take about 4 months before my op so I can't blame you for your organisation haha.

Take whatever you think you may need and make sure there's somebody to carry your bag the next day! xx

Hi franky.
I came back off my hols the day before i had my BA. If i were you i'd ring your clinic a few days before you go on hol just to make sure everything is on track.
I had a nightmare the last day of my holiday over some blood tests, to the point i thought my ba was going to be cancelled. Luckily it wasn't, but i'm dreading getting my phone bill.
Hope you have a great hol

Thank you hun, well I have a home phone at the villa which my mum pays for so that's fine also I don't have any bloods taken at all, bit strange! Just blood pressure I rang them the other day and I don't get my theatre time untill 48 hours before hand which is stupid! xxx

by MrsH 31st August 2012, 4:06 pm

I didn't have blood taken either. They wanted some, and I didn't get a theatre time until checked in so I wouldn't worry about that. It's exciting though. You've got so much to look forward to.

That's generally the norm Franky. It would be a lot nicer if we were told earlier wouldn't it. The suspence waiting for that final phone call is horrible! LOL. But it's just how they work Rolling Eyes
