Nov. 28th, 2015 09:09 pmI haven't been watching the dancing this year, but I keep catching bits of it when my parents have it on. I have to say I find Peter Andre a really unsettling human being. Like, if there was one person in the world that I wouldn't be surprised to find out was a robot, it'd be him.
My procedure's on Monday. Ever since I got the pre-op stuff all sorted I've been paranoid about getting a cold, because they don't like you having a productive cough if you're going to be anaesthetised. And now I have a small one. To be honest, my mum had a cold last week, my YN came down on Thursday having been up coughing all night, and I worked an extra shift at the Hospice yesterday and the lead receptionist was coughing all morning too, so I guess it's no surprise. So far it's just my nose feeling a bit sore and snotty, and my throat feeling a bit sore and having a frog in it every now and then. Nothing that would mean the procedure would have to be called off, but I keep worrying it's going to get worse. I'm going to take some paracetamol and get an early night tonight, and hope my body just fights it off. I really don't want to have to put off the appointment, I want to get it over and done with.
There's more to consider though. I had thought once I was done with all the pre-op stuff that was it, I just had to get to the hospital on time and let the doctors do their thing. But I have to go nil by mouth, and I can't have anything to eat after 7.30am on Monday. And mum and I have worked out that I probably won't be having the procedure until at least 2.30pm, so. That's a long time to go without food. So do I get up specially and have something to eat at 7? That would mean I could take my Sertraline with a meal and a drink (as this box tells me to do), but then it's like...what do I do after that, until I have to leave for the hospital about 11-ish? Stay up? Go back to bed? It's really very convenient for me to have the procedure in the afternoon, but now I have OTHER DECISIONS to make. Sigh.
