Wednesday 20 th Feb

Move from St John of God to The Mount Hospital where my op will take place.

Have blood tests galore during the afternoon and have a lovely reassuring chat with Roger Morris, a friend from Victoria who had a quad bypass some years earlier. Roger has walked the Camino in Spain and the Kokoda Track since his op and is a real inspiration for someone facing this heart op. Roger’s surgeon’s explanation that he had “provided the new plumbing but it was up to the patient to keep the pipes clear” was spot on.

Another bedside chat with Gail and Craig and then off to sleep with the aid of a sleeping tablet.
