- five hour nil-by-mouth wait between checking in and surgery
- four hour gap between visits by surgeon and anaesthetist
- unfortunate crush on anaesthetist
- surgery
- unexpected overnight stay
- fit of screaming claustrophobia
- Lord Lucan identified (probably) as peritoneal cancer
- chemotherapy recommended; we await instructions
- many thanks to Judith for support above and beyond.
