lol duggs Well it kind of feels like "just popping over" to be honest, it's a bit like getting the train only with a little more waiting around :) If you have reliable maps and info passed on from others, then it's not nearly as scary, although of course the first time you do it is always a bit daunting.
mel We did B&B and although the food at the Alex is nice, there are SO many places to eat around the area, I'd honestly not bother with half board. After the op .. well, it was straight back to Serum to go through it with Penny, then out for some lunch, then onto the Metro and off to the Acropolis for the afternoon. I kid you not! I had no pain, no grogginess, it was a completely different experience to my hysto at New Life - and they didn't even do any cutting or anything. Do remember to take your own ahem sanitary wear or you may end up with the standard hospital issue, which I'm told is huge! Oh, and you get a big carrier bag with gifts from the Yaia at your op as well, toiletries/creams and the like, so make sure you have room in your suitcase if you want to bring them all home. Anyone ever been given a gift by a hospital before when you had an op? Strangest thing!
Have you actually got a scheduled day/time for the hysto mel, or are you going to see Penny first? What time are you flying, do you have the info on getting to the Alex from the airport & Agate's maps, or do you need some tips (given that I was only out there last week - god it seems so much longer ago!).
choccy Glad to hear your cycle seems to be behaving itself this month .. agnus castus is very good stuff, I swear by it, although I read it takes 3 months to build up in your system to work properly.
duggs Wouldn't it be nice to have a surprise, just when you think it won't work it does? :) :) Well, you never know, stranger things have happened!
/wavees to everyone, hope you're all doing ok
