its rely nt as bad as u xpect it 2 b, the nurses n doctors r so nice n evryfin. de only fing i cn fink of, is 2 make sure u take plenty of fings 2 do wit u (a variety), cos it is SOOOOO BORING in hospital!!! daytime tv rely does get borin after a wile, n reading n stuf does 2. wen i went, i hd no visitors cos i lv on an island n hd 2 travel 2 de mainland, so get as many as u cn 2 cm c u, they mite make the time go more quickly!!!

hey, thnx for da advice - iv told evry1 dat dey must cum n visit me wid gifts of chocolate n sweeties n CD's n stuf or else! lol. Luckily, people dnt av 2 travel as far 2 c me bt im still at least 2hrs away from my friends wen i go under the knife so it mite b difficult. o wel! u coped so i am sure i can 2! i av a mini DVD player 2 so dya tink i mite b allowed 2 take that in2 the hospital wid me?? i can sit on my butt all day n browse leisurely thru my rather large collection of Disney films. U gotta hand it 2 the classics! lol.
