Day Surgery (wisdom teeth removal)
Today I got up at 5am, got ready and had some water (not allowed anything to eat after midnight before surgery and can't have water after 6am on day of surgery)
Went to the hospital with Mum and Dad for 8am.
After waiting and being admitted to the room, when I had my temperature taken it was found it is too high as I am just about to come down with something and so I can't have the operation as it would be under general anaesthetic.
They gave me some orange juice and then I went home and rested.
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.

Blood sample again
Blood sample for day surgery
Today I received a letter through the post saying I need to have another blood sample taken as the one I had done previously was not suitable for the lab to test.
I rang up and found out I can go to the hospital to have one taken there so I went along and got it over and done with.

Pre-assessment for day surgery (wisdom teeth removal)
I went down to the Leicester Royal Infirmary for my pre-assessment.
It basically involved a chat about what will happen on the day of my surgery and the nurse took my height, weight, checked my blood pressure and took a blood sample.
