...with this blog thingy, but to be honest there is really nothing happening at the moment!
The San Francisco hospital phoned on Tuesday to go over my admission instructions. I have to start practicing breathing to avoid pneumonia and I've got another one of those bloody great big bottles of Gavilyte to go through on the night before the operation and I need to swab myself off with anti-bacterial wipes the night before and the morning of. Clear liquids only for 24 hours before the procedure - not too bad, as black coffee and tea count as clear liquids.
The procedure itself is minimally invasive - they make 5 incisions in the stomach and poke cameras and instruments through some of them and pull the things that they are cutting out through the other. Sounds like a doddle!
