annwfynI've just got off the phone with the Manor Hospital in Oxford. My plans for my operation are currently as follows:
They are expecting me at 11 am on March 16th. The op is scheduled for 2 pm - so no breakfast. I'll be in hospital for two days after that, leaving on either the morning of March 18th or the evening of March 17th, depending on how it goes.
I'll have open visiting hours - I've got my own room so if people want to show up, they can. I might be a bit out of it, though. I'll not be allowed my mobile phone, but I will have my own direct line phone number while I'm in if people want to call.
I've still not managed to get through to Doctor Goodacre. His secretary only works two days a week - I've left a message on her answerphone asking her to get back to me, but there is nothing yet. I need to get a letter from him for college, saying exactly how long he thinks I'll be unfit to work properly in order to sort out my deadlines. I'd also not mind checking with him thatpierot isn't wasting his annual leave taking time off to look after me.
I think I may also spend today trying to see if I can order some books for my time in hospital. Possibly a couple of comfortable academic books.
Gods, I'm nervous about this. I'm trying to view it as some kind of magic diet. I'm going to lose pounds and pounds of flesh! That's got to be a good thing! It still worries me though. I woke up this morning at about 7 am fretting about my masters and deadlines - that's actually what is worrying me the most right now.
Gah. I can do this. I know I can.
