Today I went to the Bergman Medical clinic. It’s located in the middle of Holland, Bilthoven, close to Utrecht. It’s a really famous clinic for plastic surgery, they even have there own TV program on the Dutch television. Besides that they are also specialist in all kinds of operations. Also for an ACL reconstruction.
Today I had a meeting with the doctor (L. N. Marting) to speak about my knee, the operation and what they are going to do. They are going to use a piece of my hamstring tendon to replace that with my old cross ligament. The operation will take approximately 90 minutes and the day after I’m going back home. I also got to choose my food already. I could choose out of 10 high class dishes, I choose Tagliatella with Salmon. Hope it’s going to be good! 4th of December I will get operated and after that the real work starts!
Today (Friday, November 30th, 2007), 4 days before the operation date, I went to my physiotherapist. We talked about my revalidation and that he probably need to bring some house visits because the first week I won’t be able to do a lot.
During my visit in the clinic, they gave me some recipes. Two days (Sunday, December 2nd, 2007) before the operation I visited the pharmacist to pick up the recipes. I got some tablets against feeling sick (I think this is only if you go under narcosis). I will do an injection in my back. This means I will be temporarily paralysed from my hips until my toes.
Further I got 2 different types of painkillers for after the operation and something that supports the stomach after taking those painkillers. Because I wont be able to eat or drink 12 hours before the operation I also got a special drink that I need to take 2 hours before the operation to prevent sickness or hunger.
The week before the operation I haven’t been nervous at all. The last night it started. I slept ok but I thought a lot about what would happened the next day. I was the most scared by the spinal anaesthetic. I read a lot of things that this would hurt a lot. I also didn’t knew how I would experience all. Seeing people drilling and hammering in my knee.
Operation day (04-12-2007). After midnight I didn’t eat anymore. 2 hours before the operation I got to drink my pre-op drink. This is to prevent hunger or sickness. They do this to make sure you don’t pie during your operation.
