Surgery

I was first on the list and didn't have to wait long. All was efficient and well organised and when I woke up I felt fine, just a sore throat. The wound wasn't painful at all and I was slightly surprised to find that I was OK to get up, dress, and be out by late afternoon.

New hospital

Found our way to the outpatients at the new hospital and checked in via the computer screen. They have nearly as many staff there to help people use the computer as computers. Waited in a waiting room and then called to a sub waiting room with a very loud clock. The surgeon took a look and explained the procedure, also suggesting that many lymph are 'reactive' ie infected and not necessarily cancerous.

Keith and I went into Hanley shopping afterwards
