Thanks ladies. I had the preadmission clinic visit this morning and all is in place now for the surgery. I will be busy with the kids leading up to the 13th and of course trying to get the house clean. My daughter and her partner arrive from the UK for a three week holiday 12 days after my surgery so I'm trying to get everything done before I go into hospital. Not an easy task with a 1,2 and 3yo in the house lol. Amy's partner has never been to Australia so I don't want his first impression of our house to be OMG
