The kids and I flew to Perth 2 days earlier than op date lucky for us my partners parents live there. Hired a car at the airport and drove to there house. All warm and fuzzy the kids havent seen grandma for 3 years so they were really excited. Not nervous at this stage as 2 days to go. Mark father in law has been banded to and had excellent results but it has taken me 3 years to make this decission.

Father in law has had his band loosened and can eat what ever he likes and has decided to tease me constantly. Last meal Chinese.

Father in law drives me to the hospital 2 hrs away.Drops me at the door and says good luck and ring when I want to be picked up.

Check in Great room on my own. Operation booked in at 10am still waiting at 3pm and getting nervous. Doc finally comes around and says Kell you still have time to walk out of here if you want and are you ready for torcher for the next 40 years of your life.

I told him im here and im not leaving just yet.

Finally they come to weel the bed down to surgery. In the waiting room out side the doctor again says I still have about 5 minutes to run if I want. Again I say no way.

Bed now in operation room and the anethist said that he has been on holiday where I live and stayed at the hotel that I work at and all I can think is I hope he had a nice holiday.

Waking up was not the best experience, only panadol given for the pain. In hospital over night and they delivered a room service menu? How funny.

Let free next day and father in law picked me up. Dropped me of at home and went to the casino. Some times It would be nice to have your mum live near by.

Home back at the rock 5 days later and back at work with in the week.

Still tender but feel ok.

2 Weeks of work and I am off to the Gold Coast to get married.:clap2:
