On the morning of the 21st January 2010 we got up really early because neither of us could sleep and Dave could only have black coffee to drink 2 hours before his operation, also the medication Dave had to take as a pre-med called voltarol was in the form of a suppository! He looked forward to that!!
Dave and myself arrived at the Peninsular Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Exeter at 08:15am, we were shown on to the ward and to Dave's bed (by the window, not much of a view though).
Once familiar with our surroundings we both had to change into hospital attire, Dave because he was going into theatre and myself as I was going to accompany him.
We had to wait about 2 hours in our cubical before our theatre slot at 10:15am, Once in theatre the procedure only tool about 20 - 30 mins and the staff nurses who attended were all very friendly and helped to reassure Dave during the process.
10:45am out of threatre and back in cubicle, we now had a wait ahead as you have to wait for the local anesthetic to wear off and demonstrate to the nurses that you are again able to past water.
They offer you tea, Coffee and toast if you want it.
Before you leave the embryologist comes for a chat and explains the findings of the procedure, which in our case was a healthy result.
12:30pm other than slight bruising and being a little sore all is back to normal and we leave the hospital and head off home. All in all good result today :-)
