I'm really pleased your pre-op went well wirralass. It will soon be a distant memory I'm sure. You sound to be in capable hands x

Thank you Amigo and yes I hope so. My request was granted to have the same Surgeon that evicted my first Timby and who's dedicated care I was in for the following six annual checkups - I trust him wholeheartedly x
 
UPDATE
So - three days to go til i check into hospital for major surgery on Thursday 😳 I've got my zipped holdall at the ready to pack the few essentials I need to take in with me. Although I'll be admitted at 12.45pm I've been told that it could be anything up to 2 hours before I actually go to theatre 🙄 Blood pressure - urine specimen - chest examination - talk with the anaesthetist etc. etc.

I'll take in a book I'm reading (For the umpteenth time!) called Her Benny by Silas K Hocking, 1879 - about two homeless waifs in the poorest parts of Victorian Liverpool, with only their courage and love for one another to keep them going.

Anyway, back to topic - I've since heard that I may be discharged the same day 🙂(Beds are needed!) but should any complications arise during surgery then I would be kept in overnight - this is because the surgeon wont know til he's actually removed Timby as to whether he will need to probe further in which case I'd need more anaesthetic. Hence the stay over night should that happen. I'm hoping of course that it will be as straight forward an operation as possible so I can be discharged to recover at home. Then comes the anxious time of waiting to hear the results of the Timby biopsy.
{{{{Hugs}}}} to all you kind folk who have posted caring well wishes to me, it is appreciated very much xxx
