I was told I would need a brain tumour removed . I had to have alot of scans tests. One scan was done not at the hospital . My lovely Surgeon had to apply for funding for this. It was a long Wait to get it removed . With different reasons being so. Not the hospitals fault . I had the most amazing caring suregon. He was always Very honest with what was going to happen . He made myself And family feel relaxed at ease . Would answer any question . He even phoned me at work a couple of times to discuss Things. He phoned me at home one evening as he had an email saying how I had Been Post op and was worried . Anyhow . I had been in hosp before so knew all the bad things or the waking up the bad food ! The not sleeping well due to noise . But that's all hospitals I cannot thank my surgeon and his team enough . They could have cured my epliepsy we are yet to tell That one! They looked after me so well, I really am blessed to have had him as my surgeon . Never met a nicer bloke. He certainly knew what he was doing . All the info he needed . My brain has had that many photos! The after care I had was lovely . The staff kind caring just how they should be . If I wanted anything pressed my buzzer straight to me! Previous to this operation I had 2 Weeks in hospital for monitoring .again staff so lovely . As I could not leave the room they come in see me . Alot . Just to talk! Just amazing . They all work so hard .these wards were the neuro . So if any off ever find self thee . Believe me amazing!
