Surgery day is here ! Ian has been somewhat anxious and sometimes, a little bit stressed. However, he has been managing well with reassurance.
Ian has stayed positive throughout the period of waiting for his surgery and he has freely talked about how the surgery would look like , with friends and family. I believe this has to a larger extent helped him to cope with the emotions that come with thinking about the surgery.
When we arrived , we were told that he was 5th on the list, but he has just been called in early. Maybe things have changed like one nurse who was checking in all the other patients commented that there could have been some changes.
Ian has got a very supportive network of family and friends. We are all wishing him well as the surgery is going and post surgery. Ruth
