I had my pre-op the other day, which was very funny...I don't think its meant to be but Sean and I couldn't stop laughing!
As soon as we got in the consultation room I was asked to go away and swab my perineum (!) good start.
The appointment didn't really consist of much else...swabbing various orifices, blood and urine sample, a few of the normal questions (plus a few odd ones...do you snore!)
I then had to go have my chest photographed. It was quite odd to have my breasts photographed in a professional studio! The consent form asked for permission to publish the photo in medical resources...I don't really want my boobs in the next addition of Gray's Anatomy for all my peers to learn from so I politely declined!
And that's it! Now all I have to do is turn up on the morning of the 12th.
I haven't had the anticipated panic yet. To be fair I have spent every waking hour decorating the new house so I have had very little time to worry about the surgery.
It seems my plan to keep myself busy has worked.
