I scrubbed the other day - meaning I was the RN in charge of preparing and handing the instruments to the surgeon - the first time in 25 years! It all come back and I was quite confident. The next day, I scrubbed for another list of operations, and was going well, but when it came time to close up and do the count, I discovered that I had counted a ligature pack as a needle, and so I was one needle short, but on checking and realising the mistake, I wasn't really short at all. I informed the surgeon (and apologised) and an x-ray proved that there was nothing left behind! Now, that's a lesson I've learnt the hard way.
Apart from that, all is going well... my legs and feet are getting more used to it, and one of the RN's gave my a nice compliment and said it was hard to believe I was away for 25 years! At this stage, it's fun being back in theatre!
