Thanks girls The procedure went really well - no pain and minimal bleeding, and my body reacts really well to anaesthetic (I think I am a prime candidate for plastic surgery - you could perform needless surgery on me and my body would thank you for it LOL!) Only slightly annoyed I didn't get any pethadine this time!
I felt a bit sooky on the way home but generally feeling better now. Mum has the boys overnight so DH and I are going to use our free movie tix to see "Zombieland" and have a meal at the local pub (this time using a 50% off voucher). Plus we get to sleep in tomorrow, so we will try to make the best of the evening.

Thanks again all, I really am so glad to be part of the BB community and not have to do this on my own. Anyone who says the internet has led to the fragmentation of society hasn't checked out this place.
