It has been a good week. A little jet lagged from the trip to Las Vegas. Finally got to see the guys from RBS. They were kind enough to treat me to lunch. I think most of them will be coming tonight to Fuegos.
Well I have a long day ahead of me. I have to be at the hospital by 11:30am. Which means leaving the house by 10am. I have to under go a series of tests to ensure that my heart and lungs will be able to cope with the operation. Provided everything goes okay I should have the operation on Tuesday.
For some add reason I'm looking forward to me stay in hospital. The way I figure it is that I will be able to have at least 24hrs unbroken sleep as they keep me sedated for a day. Then when I wake up, I'll be able to watch films on my swanky new DVD player. I'm going to check out whether the ward I'm on has white walls, in which case I may even bring in my projector. Then I've got by reclining bed, not too disimilar to a deck chair and I'm sure I'll be able to get popcorn on demand. If you ask me, it's more like a 2 week holiday. Shame I can't get hold of any sand to spread around the ward to finish the scene.
I'm really looking forward to tonight. Although I may have some time to kill before 6pm. If anyone wishes to meet up early, please give me a call. Fuego's should be a good night, although I'm not going to be drinking alcohol. I do not believe it to be a good idea to arrive for an operation with a hang over. It takes me about 5 days to recover from a night out drinking.
I hope to see some of you tonight. If not, I'll be able to see visitors at St Thomas's Hospital once I've improved from the operation.
