So a while ago I was constantly having coughing fits for no apparent reason. I went to the hospital and had a camera up my nostril (ouch) and then down into my throat.
They found I had a small nodule near my voicebox which needed removing.
People at my church and home group had been praying and I had not had any coughing fits for a while.
Today I went into hospital to have it removed. Obviously before I went I had to clean the house...hubby was amused.
First we waited for a while and then I went through and put on the lovely hospital gown that you have to wear and I sat then in a different waiting room with other people in hospital gowns.
First I saw a nurse who took my blood pressure and asked me how I was. I told her I wasn't coughing anymore.
Then I saw an anaesthetist who asked me various questions and explained the anaesthetic. He asked how my health was, I told him I wasn't coughing anymore.
I then saw the registrar who would be assisting that day in theatre, he asked me various questions. I told him I wasn't coughing anymore.
Finally, I saw the consultant who would be doing the operation. I told him I wasn't coughing anymore. And he listened! I had another camera down to have a look in my throat.
And...the nodule isn't there anymore. Not even a mark!
I didn't need the operation. Praise God!!
