Off to Brighton we went, appointment was at 5.30pm with Mr Yellend. Never been before so a little unsure of timings, route times on the web were between 3 and a half to four hours, weather conditions were appalling but we did it in 4hours.
After driving straight to the Nuffield we drove to the sea front if only to see the iconic Brighton Pier. We managed to find an undercover shopping centre with parking, torrential rain so not a day to be on the Pier!
We had 2 hours before the appointment. First a lunch stop. The rain did cease a little, so a quick run round to the recently opened Pretty Green shop a purchase made and we decided on a quick walk to the front and a photo opportunity of the pier.
We made our way to the hospital and we were greeted by Mr Yellend by the reception so no hanging around drinking coffee. The day was going very quickly so no thinking time.
The Nuffield is set quite high up about 5 minutes from the sea front, the views were awesome.
Mr Yellend invited us in to his room. He has a very calm approach and very down to earth manner which put us both at ease.
After he had looked at W's chest he automatically told us the procedure he would recommend, sadly it has to be the bigger operation with the scars but as W wants a very flat result a double incision it is!
The consultation lasted about 45 minutes, as Mr Yellend was very informative I didn't have that much to ask and W had been chatting away as if he had known him for years!
So operation to go ahead 6th June. 3 nights in Brighton hopefully the sun will shine.
Not had time yet to dwell, but as I have come to terms with the situation I just want everything to be complete.
