Hospital appointment with consultant 8th January -Consultant asked about my medical history. Then she examined me even though at the time I had my period so it was a little bit embarrassing. After the examination she confirmed that I had a large fibroid she asked if anyone else in my family had fibroids I told her my sister did. It appeared that this made up her mind to perform a operation. We then discussed the various operations and she concluded that I should have a total abdominal hysterectomy. She explained that It was a possibility that my ovaries may be removed but this decision would be made during surgery. I signed all the consent forms and was told that I would have to come into hospital a week before the operation for a pre assessment .
27th January hospital pre assessment -This consisted of seeing a nurse about any medication I was on, another nurse to weigh me, take my blood pressure, medical history, and then another two nurse's about preparing for the operation and what I need to take with me to the hospital, oh yes they also measured me up for surgical stockings. They also confirmed that my operation would take place on Wednesday the 4th February.
