Tuesday 4th May 2004 - EVE OF MY FIRST STAY IN HOSPITAL
Got up, went to work, thought it would keep my mind active and off tomorrow's operation; no such luck. As the day went on, I found it harder to keep my mind off tomorrow when I go in for exploratory biopsies of the mouth. It's funny really and childlike to be frightened of a little operation to remove your tonsil and a few bit of tissue.

Got a Chinese take-away for tea and called at Peter's place on my way home to eat it. Surprisingly, I managed to get most of it down, but now I feel sick. I know its nerves but still this does not help. Lynette rang and said she had got me some brochures on cancer treatments etc, so I called in to collect them. Wish someone was here to stay with me tonight, but I don't feel like I can ask as they will think I'm being silly.

Football on television. Will watch that - it may take my mind off it. I will not be able to write my diary tomorrow as I will be in hospital. Hopefully I will be fit and home on Thursday when I will bring it up to date.
