Good news

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just wanted to give you quick update, Surgery went okish they overheated me,

which caused my temp to go up and up and up. It took a long time to return to a

steady temp which took 5 hours after operation and no one told my family what

was happening or going on. So, they assumed the worst had happened. Then had a

phone call to go to theatres. They meant Recovery room and my mum said what on

earth have you done to my daughter? She looks awful.

Surgeon had a face like thunder. He was furious at what happened as he went

looking for me and thought I had done my famous I am in a mood I am hiding

thing, but I did not

They took a good 10-15 minutes to get me off to sleep in the pre-anaesthesia

room as they could not find a vein. I started crying, so they ended up giving

me the gas, which apparently I had a fight with them cannot remember that bit.

Other then that, he thinks that the surgery went well but about 50% unsure

whether it will work but keeping fingers crossed.

As for the good news I have started a job as the head air hostess at my local

airport and I am with Fly Cymru which means Fly Wales where I live. It's a

small airline. We have 3 boeing 474's and 12 propeller planes - this is how

small our company is.

We only have one air hostess on each flight as the co-captain will help when

needed, but so far so good. Not needed it. Unfortunately I started flying this

time last week and already on sick leave. Well sort off. I am on light duties

such as check in and I have flown 2 major flights so far. One to Scotland and

Paris. It's lovely having a plane to yourself on the return journey, as we

cannot stay over we have to fly back.

I have flown two major flights and had a Emergency Landing on the last one. We

had to evacuate the plane via shoots. No one was injured, but shocked and

upset. We had a major fuel leak so bad you could smell it and also see it

coming out of the engine.

Being the only Air hostess that's a nightmare, but we landed roughly fair

service met us at runway and we all survived. Pilot had a head injury, as the

plane hit the ground so hard it sort of pushed us forward then back.

So sorry - this was suppose to be a short update. Hope everyone is ok??
