Today I had my last trip to Guys before Monday. Blood tests, urine tests, chest x-ray, ecg and a pre-admission talk with 2 renal nurses and another family. Went to see the ward I will be staying in. Very modern, very light and airy and very, very different to Victoria Ward at GOSH! Was very pleased to hear I can use my mobile as the information sheet said not! It is only for messaging though and has to be on silent!
Please do keep texting me, I am using the blog to tell everyone what is going on to save me repeating myself all the time. If I don't answer texts it will only be that I am sleeping or trying to rest before being discharged.
The operation itself should take about 3 hours and then the senior nurse drives my kidney on ice over to GOSH. Emma should be going down to theatre about midday.
I was home by 3 so was able to pick Meggie up from school. She had her nativity again today. She cried from start to finish when I watched yesterday but of course was a real 'angel' for Nanny and Grandad today!!
Wow- that was simpler than I thought it was going to be! We head off tomorrow but I will make sure we have the laptop with us so we can keep in touch. Milly loves Emma's gap between the front teeth! Much more glamorous than her lop-sided one coming through ;)
