183. Chop Shop

Admission at 7.30.  Meant getting up at 6.  FFS.

On time for a change.  When the consultants registrar came round he informed us that I’d been bumped from 2nd on the list to last.  From 9.30 theatre slot to 3.30.  Ace.

I sent R home.  No point us both being bored all day. 

I lolled around all day.  Reading magazines.  Trying to nap.   Eventually it was my turn.  I’d insisted on my pre-med so was put on a trolley.  When I got into the anaesthetic room there was a bit of discussion about my veins.  I showed them the vein that worked and they tried 2 others; my hand and my LEFT arm.  My cancer arm.  The forbidden arm.
