ready for the operation - 01:10 PM
i took shroom into hospital this morning. it was really difficult just leaving him there like that, but there wasn't much point in me staying, there was nothing more that i could do there. his operation is scheduled for 2pm so i'll be calling after about 4pm i guess to see how everything went & to go back there to spend the night. he's having this operation at the same hospital that he had the last operation. different doctor this time though. apparently this guy is the best.
we found out something that made us both breathe a sigh of relief. this doctor doesn't use packs. in my previous entry i referred to them as plugs, but i found out they're actually called packs. they are very long strips of cotton gauze that they literally pack into the nostrils, thus the name. they are extremely uncomfortable & extremely painful when they are being removed. i'm not sure why this guy doesn't use them. maybe it's because he's so good at what he does that he doesn't need to use them.
as i said, hopefully i'll be able to stay the night. his previous operation was exactly a year ago & when i turned up to visit him i just stayed for the whole night. the nurses literally turned a blind eye, they didn't even look at me! i was pretty happy about that. i think that it makes things easier on them, too. if a patient has a doting girlfriend looking after his every need then he'll be generally happier & less likely to use the buzzer every twenty minutes. i'm going to turn up tonight & try to hide in a corner & be as inconspicuous as possible. if they ask me to leave i'll ask that they let me stay. it's the least i can do for my sweetheart. i want to be there for him when he wakes up evey half an hour from nightmares. it's making me get all sad now just thinking about it. i hope he'll be okay .. my poor darling.
