Sorry I missed you @Bunniekins
You too @TAB
It's been a hectic day -
Leading up to my Surgery (5th surgery) on Wednesday.
Everything is happening at once, at the last minute (almost) - Pre-Op medical assessment has only just been booked/ set up by the hospital (now).
My Admission time (6.00am Wednesday morning - Yuk) - was only just changed/ then confirmed (by hospital) this afternoon.
That seems to be the way these Hospital Surgery Admissions always work (the way they do it) - even though it was all Booked in/ Planned 8 weeks (2 months) ago.

Wow @TAB Thanks.
I did not realize that happened with Colonoscopies too.
I've had a Colonoscopy - & an endoscopy.
This is a surgery (my 5th one) - hopefully my last surgery ever (that would be wonderful).
Each of my surgeries has been caused (made necessary) - by things going drastically wrong with the previous surgery.
- Otherwise it would have been just that one Emergency Bowel Surgery (November 2014) - instead of 5 surgeries.
That would have been the happy ending (healing) of it.

@TAB @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51 @Adge @Former-Member @WIP @Maggie and everyone here is my spooky story...... One morning I was going for a 3am walk with my 82 year old neighbour we had just left the house and were walking along the back streets of where I live. Soon a car drove by us down the road and then it turned right and disappeared. We were paying attention to it because it is out of the ordinary to see a car at that time. Anyways ..... as we were crossing that road he came back again and turned into the street that we were walking in and drove past us several metres where he stopped and did a turn and drove past us again ...... by this stage we were very spooked. He got to the top of the road and then disappeared and luckly by then we had reached our destination and were amongst heavy traffic and safe. pea
