Dec. 21st, 2004 01:31 pmAnd the day had started off well.
Mum had to be at the hospital (the SAN for the Sydneyites) at 6:15am. Was being operated on after 8, the doctor rand at 9 and said everything had gone well, she'll be a lot more comfortable now (well after the initial discomfit) and the colonoscopy found nothing, no polyps (yay!). She has a little diviculitis, but the doctor said that's normal and age related.
Dad went up and saw her at 10.30, she couldn't feel anything and was okay. We'll go and see her later this arvo.
And hopefully she'll be home tomorrow morning.

Dec. 21st, 2004 06:19 pmWent up the hospital to see mum (as a sidebar--gorgeous view of the city from the top floor of the SAN).
She was dozing when we got there, we stayed for about an hour. She's feeling okay still, any pain is probably being dampened by drugs. But she said you don't get any information. She's not sure when she'll be next seeing the doctor, when she'll be able to drink or eat, but they're very good at taking your blood pressure/temp every half hour.
She threatened the surgeon and the anaesthesiologist that she'd come back and haunt them (she always does ;)). She said the anaesthesiologist worried a little with his yawning and talking about how he kept misplacing his swipe cards. Last night she said she hoped the surgeon was a morning person.
One of the nurses commented about mum's name, Dianne, and said she was Diane. Mum mentioned that she had to get used to it because she is known by her middle name, Kay. The nurse asked whether it was spelt with an e, mum said no, a y. The nurse's name is Diane Kaye. Very weird!
