"Awaiting my operation"

Everything has been alright here. I am currently awaiting surgery for a blocked bile duct. I have been waiting for the operation for 4 weeks now and hope that it will happen on Tuesday. The staff are all okay here on this ward, the nurses in particular are great. The Doctors are dead on too. They come round every morning and update you on the plan for your care and treatment so it is good they keep you well informed. The ward is always clean and the food is alright too I just don’t have much appetite for it at the minute as being in here for 4 weeks you get very well accustomed to the menu and there isn’t much variety. I do feel safe in terms of being protected against COVID-19 when in hospital as the staff test us every day. Everything overall has been good and I have no major complaints but it is just the waiting that is hard and being in hospital for 4 weeks feels like a long time too.
