The Day Before Surgery

My brother had to be at Guy's this morning at 10am, to have a line in his neck fitted for the Plasma exchange. They are stripping his blood of any antibodies that will react with mine. The machine was very noisey. 

This is the machine. Pretty gnarly huh?

I'll be heading over tomorrow for 9am, when I'm sure I'll bloody starving. I have to be nil by mouth from midnight. No morning cuppa for me, gutted!! 

I've been weirdly calm today, had a few tears on the phone with my mum earlier. It's been a sort of surreal day. We've all been waiting for this day for what seems like forever and it's come round so quickly. 

I will continue blogging my recovery and may even have some before and after shots for ya!!
