Monday 31st May 2004 - THE DAY BEFORE MY OPERATION.
Packed my bag with the required two pairs of pyjamas, dressing gown, slippers towel, electric razor and toiletries. I have got a selection of talking books which should keep me occupied whilst in.

I don’t know how I am feeling - really mixture of dread and wanting it to be over with. My son Sam called this morning, as did my eldest Anthony. My brother Peter is coming to stay with me tonight. My sister Louise is taking me in for 7:30 am tomorrow. My op is at 9:00am I think. Anthony says he is going to stay at the hospital until I come round from my op. I chatted to Mike and Vicki on IM and they both wished me all the best for tomorrow; I think Mike said he may visit me whilst I’m in hospital.

There will now be a gap until I am fit to continue with this diary. So I will say a temp bye, to those who are following it, until I come out of hospital.
