Feel yucky, spent yesterday at hospital, was told to report at 7.30, didn't go down for op till 1.30! Worse the TV in waiting room was stuck on BBC1, wall to wall election coverage... not a good mix, hungry and thirsty, not to mention bored, patients listening to the eggheads droning on and on, talking about nothing! Managed to persuade nurse to let me go out, another patient also took advantage of the 'fresh air' break, we went out for a much needed cigarette. Then just as it looked like the BBC were going to show something other than the blooming election... get called for op! Two hours later I am on ward, nurse brings me a welcome cuppa and slice of toast... I was determined that they weren't going to keep me overnight, so meditated to bring BP down, then drank plenty of water to rehydrate myself. Phew, it worked, BP back to normal, didn't feel too bad, more light headed than I ever have before after an op. But was allowed to escape after dinner, so was home just before 7 pm. Didn't sleep very well, was in a lot of pain, and just felt yucky, felt like that all day long. Not done much, can't, knee is objecting to slightest movement. Will feel better if I get a good night's sleep tonight.
I am sick of the interminable election coverage, can we just let them get on with their discussions? The stupid media aren't going to find out anything till it is all done and dusted. Sky is the worst, was amazed at the patience and politeness of one lib dem politician being harassed by a sky reporter. And also disgusted that no news show had the decency to show the 3 soldiers who were killed being repatriated! You'd think nothing else was happening in the world. We have a hung parliament, it will take a miracle for the Tories and Lib dems to agree, so we'll have another election in 6 months, so we can do same again - let them know that we are in charge, we are the ones paying their wages.
Weather is grim, not as cold as it was, but definitely NOT summer weather.
