8th June 2009...

Before I knew it, I was sitting in traffic on the M25 on my way to RNOH - the 8th June was finally here. I had finished work, rented my room out, drunk all I could drink and bought numerous pairs of new pyjamas!

The day started well, I had been allocated my own room - which Mum set about cleaning frantically and before I knew it, I had was changed into my gown and paper pants and being wheeled into theatre - sobbing.

I opted for an epidural, which was put in before I was put to sleep. Post-op pain control would consist of tramadol tablets - fairly strong opiate based painkillers, which I would start to take once the epidural was removed. As my cannula was put in, I was asked to count to ten, I think I made it to 3....
