    On entering the Operating Theatre I was put at my ease with great care. I had no worries or concerns at all. I was made comfortable and spoken to in a gentle very calming way to ward off any worries I might have had.. Afterwards I woke completely pain free.. Now it's up to me to get better. I wish to thank you all who were looking after me that morning..
