Hello!

Hello everyone! I'm back! It all went fine. :) I got there at 7am, and then had wait until 11 to get ready, going down to theatre at about 11:15. Whhyyyyy did you make me wait for so long? I sat in a chair for about 3 hours, very bored. *sighs* Anyway, I went down the the... uh... room they give you the anesthetic in, and the nurses were there, talking to me about my jewelery and stuff. They put a... thing that they give you injections into that's connected to a vein in your hand thing in. You know what I mean? Anyway, they put one of those in, and I just felt very sleepy and... heavy, lol. The next thing I knew I was waking up! Wheee, it was all over, and not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Anyway, I was down in recovery for some time cause for some reason the ward nurses weren't coming down to take me back up. On my nice bed with wheels on. I've never been in a lift in bed before, lol. Anyway. I went back to my room and was just generally sleepy. The consultant doctor person came to see me, and made sure I could move my fingers all okay and everything. I had a big foam kinda sling thing on that was elevating my arm, my brother said I had a Transformer arm, lol. Anyway, I was finally given food at about 3, and I had hot chocolate too. Nothing like chocolate to make you feel better! :) Anyway, after a little while I was able to come home! I've got a big bandage on, but it's left my fingers more exposed than I was expecting. I'm still a bit weird from the drugs, and they've given me painkillers and stuff. I think the recovery nurse said that they had given me a local anesthetic at my wrist, so I can't really feel it. Apart from my fingers being a bit numb. I've also been given some exercises to do - wriggling my fingers, LOL!

But, I'm okay! Loopy from the drugs, so this probably doesn't make any sense, but hey! :D
