Well, that was fun. Went in at mid-day yesterday, met doctors, and went down to theatre at 4. They stuck a needle in my hand, turned on the anaesthetic, and I just had enough time to explain to everyone present that I make websites for a living before I fell asleep. Odd, it's usually the other way around.
I woke up about 45 minutes later to find that they had decided not to remove my adenoids - instead, they had just trimmed the tubinates a bit. Oh well, I won't complain as long as it helps - makes for much less pain and bleeding.
They took me up to the ward, and told me they'd let me go home. They told Leela when she rang that I'd be ready to go in a few minutes, so she dashed over to Gloucester straight from the gym, without having had any tea. But they had lied. Two hours later, they removed the needle from my hand, and we headed home for tea.
So now I just have a sore throat that's bleeding a little bit. And my nose won't stop running, but I'm not allowed to blow it - most frustrating. But apart from that, it wasn't too bad, and I had a good excuse to take the half day off work.
