My idea of sleeping in the chair worked a treat I slept very well despite the hourly checks the nurses made on me taking blood and checking my stats (Pulse, blood sugars, blood Oxygen levels) etc,

I still had all the tubes in me the large one in my neck, the catheter, the drain tube in my Tummy, but today they took the tube out of my nose, and I was allowed to wet my lips and tongue with a strange sponge on a stick, you dipped it in water and then just wiped it round your lips and gums, but I was still not allowed to swallow any liquids or solids. The food lady asked me every morning if I wanted to order food for the next day but I had to say NO!! Funny thing though I did NOT feel hungry in the slightest.

I was in some pain around and below the incision area, other than that I was fighting fit and wanted to go home.

late in the after noon one of the lovely nurses came in holding a very large bouquet of flowers, thinking she was showing of what some one had given her, it turned out that they were for me, they were from my employer. A very nice gesture.
