Felt what it was like to be a patient...

Hey :)

So it's 2 days until Christmas!Doesn't really feel like it though! I have wrapped all my presents woo:)

2 months, 3 weeks and 6 days till I start my nursing!

I've been off work for a full week now. I finished on 16th Dec and ended up crashing into my managers car at work! So annoyed!!! My insurance is going to go up quite a bit now :( and I have to pay an excess fee of £400 :(
Anyway, next morning had to be at the hospital for 8am. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything past midnight! I was soo hungry and I was in a room with one other woman (who was in her 60s i'd say) she'd just had a knee replacement!
She was nice enough but wouldn't stop talking!!! It was quite annoying as I had to wait 5 and 1/2 hours until I went in! so I pretended to be asleep towards the end just so she would give me some peace and quiet lol. When the 2 porters came to take me down they said they had never seen anyone so happy to go into theatre! haha ( They were both quite fit!)

I was only in for the day and evening! Then sent home - couldn't move my arm/hand/fingers for the first few days! was very painful and my throat (from the tube) is KILLING me. Still hurts and it's been 7 days now! I went to the practise nurse today and had stitches taken out ( had about 4-5) it looks so gross! and all yellow and eurgh! gonna have a bit scar on the centre of my forearm! :S

I've had an appointment through for Occupational Health - 13th Jan! Also had an appointment through for another hospital appointment for 13th Jan(must be my results!) so i'm gonna ring up tommorow to change it as i've already changed the OH one once!


Merry xmas everyone :D:D
