Did you manage work?

Am waiting to go down for my op. They thought 8.30 but I guess they are running late.

I am sure it will all go well, take the drugsGrin

Didn't go quite to plan. It was inflamed and they only just managed to get it out laparascopically, but my heart rate soared in the process so they had to give me a cocktail of drugs including a load of morphine to get it back down. That left me woozy all day and I had to stay in overnight, leaving breastfed baby without me Sad.
I still have a drain in, and how much that is collecting will determine whether I can go home today or not.
They removed 3 stones between the size of a malteser and a bonbon, and about 7 much smaller ones.

I am sorry to hear cantsleep, but it is out now so focusing on recovery. did you express to have some in stock? I expect you did, still I am sure you know how to re establish supply.
I understand how you fell though, I hope the recovery goes smoothly
