Thursday 25th March 2010 - Day 2, still no surgery

This day was mostly filled with painkillers and very little information.

The nurses, cleaning and catering staff are all lovely. A few of them pretty hot too! Brunette with the tattoo on her wrist... Hello! My room mate is a Polish guy who managed to fracture his wrist on a snow park. I'd put him at late 40's and not particularly in shape so I've no idea what he was doing trying to ride in a park! He also doesn't speak a word of English or French so conversation is non existent!
So glad I have my Macbook and iPhone!




I was told my surgery would be that day so I went without food for a full 24 hours. At about 6pm a nurse came in with a plate of food and told me my surgery would now be tomorrow because there were too many emergencies to take care of first.

The food was very bad. The best way to describe the dessert is, "beige". Seriously, I doubt a hungry dog would eat this crap.

Throughout the day the most embarrassing thing is having to pee into a bottle. I'm not sure if it's just me but I pretty much fill the thing each time. A few more glasses of water and I'd have been overflowing! These gowns don't leave much to the imagination, moving around the bed I've revealed James Westfall and Doctor Kenneth Noisewater to a few nurses so far!

That night I slept ok with the help of a sedative, right now I just want the surgery to be over with. It's not nice thinking that sharp pieces of bone are mushing around inside my knee!
