One Day Before Surgery (Fri 5th March)

I was very nervous and was having problems with the side effects of the Morphine, the biggest being constipation. I took a lot of laxatives in the hope of going to the toilet before the operation as I knew it would be a lot more difficult afterwards. I had to stop eating and drinking at midnight, but my last meal was at 6pm and my last drink at 9pm just to be on the safe side.

I had a pretty sleepless night, partly due to nerves and partly due to the laxatives causing quite a lot of stomach upset. I still hadn’t actually been by the morning and I’d say I got maybe an hour’s sleep in total.
