lol, I don't care what amount they give me as long as I'm out!!! lol
Is that London? x

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 12:21 am

yes! about 5 minute walk from warren street tube station. me and OH are going down by train but i'm debating whether or not to train it back the next day or get him to drive us... he's never driven round central london before (& his driving scares me at the best of times!) + finding parking & congestion charge etc etc i'm starting to think it might be less stress to get the train... 5 min walk to tube, 5 min on the tube & then a 20 min train home? hmmmm x

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 12:28 am

Oh no I wouldn't!! Ud just have had surgery, might be sore and to worry someone might bump into u....
Why don't u call around cab companies and get some quotes, if its that close I'm sure cab fare wouldn't be too much?
What time u being admitted? Can u make it there by train? X

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 12:44 am

haven't had an admission time yet but i reckon it'll be early just cos i've got to have bloods taken & put through before i go down but will be okay, trains start running to london from like 4:30am. I might see if my mum can come pick me up but it depends on my dad cos i don't think she's told him (i hope she hasn't!) but she can't leave him at home on his own while she comes to get me cos he's not in the best of health atm and gets panicky if he's on his own too long :( x

Oh dear, sounds like you've been thinking about it and decided that the train option is best for u... I could probably take the train to highgate but I haven't considered it an option. I've checked on my navigator and its only a 16 minute drive so I'm sure it shouldn't cost too much by mini cab, will call around on Monday for some quotes. Will get a friend to pick me up. How far are u from ur hospital? Xx

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 9:50 am

Around an hour by car. I will probably get picked up by car, you're right I don't wana risk being knocked around etc n may still be feeling abit funny from GA. wish I could remember how I felt after my last GA better...

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 9:58 am

Yeah, I think that's best huni.- better be on the safe side and its more comfortable :) xx

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 12:29 pm

spoke to OH and he said he thinks he'll be fine driving through London, and he doesn't mind paying for the parking (£4.50 an hour!!) so looks like thats sorted :) x

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 12:42 pm

Oh good! ;) I'm glad to hear that x

by Lisa34 16th March 2013, 1:10 pm

That's good news newboobz, you will be much more comfy in the car xx

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 2:01 pm

the hospital is literally on the boundary for the congestion charge, there's a carpark 2 streets back which google maps reckons is a 7 minute walk... hope i'll be able to manage that cos i soooooooooo don't want to pay congestion charge as the car would only be quarter of a mile inside the boundary for about 10 minutes!!

by xlaurenx 16th March 2013, 2:02 pm

Under a week to go now eeeek. I had my pre op yday all went well soo all good to go. xxx

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 2:04 pm

just checked the distance, it is 0.1 mile inside the congestion charge boundary!

glad your pre op went well lauren, you got everything sorted? xx

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 2:15 pm

I'm sure you can, anyway if you're a day case ull be discharged after the congestion charge ends, and u much be able to go straight to hospital fur the admission and then ur OH could park it if u go before CC starts. 7 minutes is not so bad, hopefully the weather is nice and it would just be a stroll xx

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 2:23 pm

i'm staying overnight. have a feeling i'm gona be discharged at rush hour! gah x

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 2:24 pm

Oh, I'm sure that u can find a way of postponing being discharged if u really wanted to...

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 2:37 pm

wish i knew what my admission time was already to give me a rough idea of traveling times/discharge times etc. gah! will have to ring them monday ...

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 2:40 pm

Same here, no clue yet! Which clinic u with?

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 2:46 pm

i'm going through a small company called aurora clinics but it's at a bmi hospital so i need to contact the hospital directly. just rang the main bmi hotline number cos the hospital reception was closed (?!) and they said the don't have any information about my admission on their records :(

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 2:50 pm

Oh yeah! I've heard of it. That's probably because the lease the premises and the admission etc is dealt with by aurora?
Don't worry, I'm sure it's all good, call the clinic and tell them that....
Do u have written confirmation of ur surgery details?? Xx

by Nicole 16th March 2013, 3:09 pm

yeah have confirmation of date and payment etc, will ring aurora and bmi on monday somebody should know! x

by angie8131 16th March 2013, 4:56 pm

I'm sure it'll be ok, I got my confirmation today but still don't know admission time!! X

by Redtulip123 16th March 2013, 5:32 pm
