I learnt something new today.
.
DO NOT get any manicure or pedicure prior to getting an Op. Your money will be wasted coz it’s mandatory for all fingernails and toenails to be free from color and design. Why? For observation purposes, it seems. Discoloration of the nails will warn the surgeons of anything that could possibly go wrong during or after the Op.
.
As I signed the registration papers at GMC this afternoon, I tried to ignore the kids running all over the lobby and sickly-looking folks lounging around. Can’t say that hospitals are my favourite places in the world.
.
Thank God my doc is good. He made his PA call the registration clerks to bug them to expedite my admission procedures. So, I didn’t have to wait long. Me likey my doc already.
.
By the time I was shown to my room, my doc was already waiting for me and I quickly asked him the question that Sweetheart has been bugging me to find out. "Can I leave the hospital after the paperwork’s cleared and only return very early tomorrow morning? As in 5am or 6am?".
.
His answer - "What I don’t see, I don’t know. What I don’t know, I don’t care" followed by a wink.
.
Did I mention that I reeeeally like my doc?
.
So, I get to stick to our original Friday evening plan. Which is some time at the gym, followed by a quick dinner with some friends. Then go for our date with Indy before heading to the clubs to meet more friends to boogie the night away. Except that my night will end with Sweetheart dropping me at the hospital to prep for the Op which is scheduled for 8am tomorrow.
.
And … if this week is anything like last week, we’ll be having too much fun to worry about anything else anyways. :)))
