Now on the admissions unit being prepared for AVR surgery after lunch.
Arrived at 7am this morning.
Five vials of blood taken.
Met assistant cardiac surgeon who’ll be assisting the lead surgeon. Consent forms checked. Edwards Inspiris Valve implant confirmed.
Swabbed for MRSA, then I electric shaved chest/arm/groin myself and showered with antibacterial body wash.
Was then given six warmed antibacterial body wipes for different parts of the body.
Gowned up now with non slip socks.
The sun here is hiding behind the clouds but this week London is due a heatwave ☀
Let there be peace 🕊
