Well a bit of a roller coaster ride for the last month. Only yesterday on the first day of my pre-op diet did I get the phone call saying that the cardiac consultant had okayed me for the op. And only then because I rang and badgered them.

Anyway, I'm on the second day of the pre-op diet and although I have it pretty good, 4 weight watchers tins of soup and 4 muller lite yogurts a day I'm already pretty sick of soup. Don't mind the yogurts. Some people only get to drink 5 pints of milk a day so I shouldn't complain. I've had yogurt for breakfast, soup mid morning, soup and yogurt for lunch, soup at 4pm will have soup and yog for dinner then yogurt and sugar free jelly for supper. Oh yes I can have a pint of sugar free jelly each day too and a bovril drink. Don't think I'll be bothering with the bovril.

So here I go. I'm still worried but speaking to all the other people who have already been through the op I know that I wont regret it. People only ever regret not doing it earlier.

On a work note, It was our harvest festival a couple of weeks ago so we made a harvest wheat sheaf for the church service. It looked fab when it was glazed and cooked.
