Thanks @eth @Shaz51 @frog @Everyone
No I'm not in hospital yet (for Surgery).
That is very early tomorrow (Wednesday 5th August) morning - before 6.00am, I have to get up at 4.00am
This was all the Pre-Op Medical Assessment procedures ( 3 & 1/2 hours at the hospital) - that put major obstacles in my path.
Ordering me to go get extra Pathology tests (myself) at extremely short-notice, nurse wanting to postpone everything etc etc.
Telling me that I must have a family member (close associate) to take me home - or they won't let me go home (after Surgery) etc etc.
I will order a Taxi to take me home (& my neighbour may check on me at home), that's all I have - that was not enough for the Admin person.
So much ambiguity & contradictions - Yes you will go home (not stay in hospital) says the Surgeon's Office (Secretary) & the Anaesthetist Doctor.
No you won't go home says the Admin person/ Nurse - We will have to keep you here.
This is all before I've even gone in (been Admitted to hospital) to have the Surgery.
So I have no way of knowing whether to pack an overnight Bag (or not).
Thanks everyone.

You said Pack an overnight Bag @Shaz51 Just as well that I did pack a bag.
I've just woken up (after Surgery Done), a short while ago - Now it's12.30pm.
They're keeping me in over-night
- because I don't have anyone to take me home & stay with me in my house for 24 hours.
I am not "Resisting" Hee Hee - even though I don't want to be kept in hospital.
Really it's just about me needing/ wanting certainty & clarity - in the face of contradictory hospital information & constantly changing hospital directives.
Gee I'm feeling so Dopey after that General anaesthetic - I'm falling asleep whilst holding phone & typing this....

Oh @Adge I am glad they're keeping you in. Do nothing more than care for your birds when you get home. You deserve a rest.
Get Well Soon ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

@Bezak482 Thanks.
Best to you too.
I've been doped out all this afternoon & evening.
I need to some how be perky tomorrow morning when leaving hospital (unlikely) - I virtually don't get any sleep at all, when in hospital.
