Getting closer.

Today was my last day as a teaching assistant, at least for now anyway. I'm starting to gather together the things I will need at the hospital. I'll only be there a few hours but need a dressing gown and slippers, toiletries etc in case I feel the need to freshen up after surgery or in the unlikely event of complications meaning I need to stay longer.  I have arranged childcare for my seven year old, my husband has booked the day off to take me to the hospital and as far as I can tell I'm as ready as I can be. I'm going to document my recovery as well as possible starting with a pre-surgery photo.
