Two NSVs in one day!!

I had to go for a pre-op assessment the other day in advance of having a pacemaker fitted.
I asked the nurse whether I'd be able to feel the pacemaker, and her response was 'yes, you have very little fat on your chest so you'll likely see and feel it' - I was shocked, as although I've lost lots of weight I still see myself as amply covered.
She then went on to ask me if there was a possibility I could be pregnant - I laughed and said that I doubted it as I'll be 60 next week - she actually checked my DOB and then said that she would never have thought I was anywhere near that age, and thought I was still well within childbearing age - boy, did she make my day!!!

Wow! What fun! Bet you weren't expecting to spend the day with a huge smile on your face! Usually that's not what you think will happen when your schedule has the words "pre-op" and "pace maker" on it.

Thankyou everyone! It certainly cheered me up, especially with the reason I was there for.
Onwards and downwards, still 19lbs to my initial target of onderland and 28lbs before another planned surgery but I'm on a mission! 0 -
