Tuesday 1st June 2004 - THE DAY OF MY
OPERATION.
Well the day of my operation has arrived at last.
My son Anthony, sister and brother-in-law accompanied
me to Bradford Royal Infirmary. Louise and David
then left but Anthony stayed until I came up from
my operation. I was in the operating theatre for
6 hours, so I was told. The operation went well,
however I developed a collapsed lung, which caused
the delay. I was allowed to drink immediately
after my operation and was back on normal food
the day after. I was put on a P.C.A machine for
the pain. I therefore felt little or no pain.
Anthony said the site of the operation looked
very well. Mr Bem my consultant called to see
me and informed me that all had gone very well
although he had had to remove part of the nerve
to the right side of my mouth.
