Day 19 & Day 20

Just a quick one before I head to bed.

Been back to CARE today, and everything went fine there. Two specimens will hopefully be enough, regardless of what happens.

Just over 12 hours until I have to be at the hospital.. still not really worried.

It's funny how things work, how coincidences form. I was playing a videogame yesterday, and at one point you go into a clinic/hospital. Patients are walking around, and doctors patrol the rooms between surgeries, etc. At one point, a patient and a doctor were having a conversation, and I overheard it.

The patient was asking the doctor about anaesthesia, and the process of it. He asked what it was, and if it was really stopping your heart and letting a machine breathe for you. The doctor said that could happen, depending on how you react under it. The patient then asked if you can dream, and the doctor said not during the surgery, but you may dream as you enter regular sleep after the surgery but before you wake up.

It was interesting as I have totally ignored the anaesthesia part of this so far. I've never been put under general, and have trouble sleeping normally, so now I'm a little edgey about it. But I'm sure it'll be fine. You just have to count backwards, and then you wake up in recovery, right?

The idea of waking up in a different room to the one I fall asleep in is scary. I wonder why.

Well, it'll soon all be over. Well, I hope it will be, anyway. This part will all be over. Then I can think about the future. I just wish I could fall asleep now and wake up with it all done. Bah, you never get anywhere just by wishing.

Roll on Wednesday.
