After going through with a lot of questions to make sure they had the up to date information and taking all the required tests i.e. blood pressure, weight, etc. I saw the surgeon who carried out the surgery he informed me of all my options explained both good and bad that could happen. When she was sure that I had understood all, she asked me if I wanted to go through with the operation, I said yes & had to sign the form accordingly.
After surgery, in recovery ward I saw the surgeon and at the end I was informed that providing I can carry out the two required tests I could go home. Unfortunately I could only partially carry out the tests which would have meant staying in overnight but knowing that I was a carer the surgeon and nursing staff put their head together and managed to find a way for me to get home although a bit later but on the same day.
"Going home same day, after surgery"
