"Gall Bladder Surgery"

On the day of the operation, I was quite anxious initially but was put at ease when the Surgeon explained the procedure and answered my questions in a very calming tone of voice. It was a strange experience to walk from the SEAL area to the operating theatre as opposed to going to theatre on a bed! The Anesthetist and his team were very thorough in double checking my details and we had a brief conversation about robotic lawn mowers before I was knocked out for the operation. After what seemed to be five minutes, woke to someone calling my name and then I was taken up to ward 52 on what I must say, a very comfortable bed.   The key hole surgery went well but I was kept in for one night just to make sure. During the night I experienced palpitations and pressed the buzzer at around 2 a. m.   Nurses Rachel & Nicola came straight away and conducted an ECG. Anyway, I was allowed home the next day. I would like to thank Mr MacMillan and his team for the excellent care that I received. Special thanks to Nurses Rachel, Nicola, Kelly and Scott. Not forgetting, Arthur who brought me tea and biscuits.
