Just wanted to say a great big thank you for looking after me so well last week. Richard thank you for the precision sharp shooting, Peter (anaesthetist) for finding a vein in my hand I did not know I still had, oh and to both of you for keeping me alive!
I must report that seeing the catheter sticking out of my abdomen when shaving each morning was not the greatest, but I did get used to it. As I said to Anita, when she was deftly removing it, the advantage with the abdominal catheter is that one can try out the original equipment and make sure it is all working properly before the catheter is removed, greatly reducing the likelihood that a re-fit will be necessary!
I would also like to say I found the Hampshire Clinic brilliant in all respects, from the lady that showed me to my room, the very helpful late night receptionist, Emma who did part of my pre-Op stuff, my night nurses Kelly and Kay, my day nurse who’s name now escapes me, though she was lovely and obviously the truly marvellous Anita Purver. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She made time to explain every little detail and answer all my questions and always responded to my calls or texts, even on the days when she was not on duty!
What can I say. Many thanks to one and all.
