Number 8

Last on the list yesterday and didn't go down until just before 5.30pm.

But, don't know if it's because was in a day ward and it closes at 8.30pm so staff have a life balance but this place had the nicest NHS staff I've ever met. None of them rushed off their feet, everything controlled and all of them friendly, chatty and a good laugh!

I even came round easier as they'd given me anti-sickness meds and hooked me up to saline, something I normally have to beg for because feel so rotten under a general or morphine. This time I bounced back within 15 mins!

I was so chuffed that I left a review for the hospital and I never do that... :-).

Came home, had a huge cuppa and then took our Lucy out for a walk for a couple of hours. It was so nice after wearing a mask all day to feel the fresh air on my face. Lucy was unusual too, she normally sulks if I go out but she was all huggy! Nice to be missed.
Blimey you sound very experienced- I’ve never had a general (unless you count 1971 dentistry) but the chiropractor tells me sorting out my back may involve shaving some bone off so I’m guessing that will change….get through the MRI and see what that shows first I suppose!

@judithg Oh gosh, yes I remember being given gas at the dentist! Do they still do that?!

Good luck with the MRI and hope that they can do something other than operate as that sounds nasty. Still, if it solves back pain then it's 100% worth it, coz constant back pain gets miserable :-( Hugs!

@blightygal dentists not allowed to do generals except in a proper operating theatre I believe thank goodness! Also pretty sure they don’t use that gas….
