Fears a little bit calmed
Tonight I went with a friend to Hinchingbrooke Hospital...that's where I'm suppose to have my c-section. I must say, I'm a little bit nervous....ok totally nervous. It's a British hospital to start off and the do medicine differently then us Americans...I know from experience (ER in Lakenheath) and I'm not quite sure if I'm up to sharing a room with a possible four other women just after I've had surgery. So we took a tour tonight, husbands didn't come, and some of my fears have been subsided. I didn't feel like I was walking through an abandoned hospital (that is so what I felt when I went to Suffolk and like dead zombies were going to come through a door any minute) and the midwife who gave the tour was very informative...although, a lot didn't pertain to me since I'm a scheduled C-section. I did find out that I won't be able to stay in one of the rooms with just one bed the first night I have the surgery which is too bad since that's when I would really want it...but they do let us come home after 48 hours if every thing is alright which I'm assuming it will be since I've never had any issues, but I was thinking...I may just stay 3 days since I have stairs and my showers are both upstairs and stairs I don't think is a very good idea 48 hours after surgery. The staff seems nice and even though the hospital is old, I think I feel much better and will feel even better on the 29th when I go in for my consultation. I'm so hoping that we can schedule a date by then. Lindsey and I still have two other hospitals to go but I'm more at ease which is good. Now to finish picking up my down stairs and get started on a baby present, doc appointments, preparations for an activity, talk (Madison has one on Sunday) and scripture (Hannah) and then my life will be back to being chaotic but not so chaotic after Saturday.
