Hi Helpme
That is good news that u have a date. I hope all goes well for u. I am nor scared of the hospital i just think it is uncomfortable. Hard beds not like your own.:-)

hi, I had an internal stent fitted and had to stay overnight just so they could keep checking blood pressure and temperature more than anything so you will probably have your sleep interrupted every few hours through the night. The procedure was very straight forward and I didn't suffer with any pain, the nursing team that looked after me were lovely and made the stay very easy. I was only in the one night and discharged by 9am. Good luck hope it all goes well xxx
Thanks was u made to stay in bed or cud u get up n move around n get up to the loo i really dont wanna have to use a bed pan i will b on the private wing so i get a ensuite room so that wont b as bad xx
I cried on phone when i was told i got to stay in thanks for the good luck messages
Hi helpme
It can be scary staying in the hospital but I'm certain it will not be as bad as you think. Just take some headphones and listen to relaxing music or watch a movie and the time will fly. Ask for something to help you sleep and it will be over before you know it. I wish you well and hope everything will go easy

Hi I was up and about as soon as I was back to the ward as the anaesthetic was only administered to the area of my back for them to make a key hole size incision. i didnt need no bed pans or anything x
