Roger has had "The Big Op". All went well and nothing else untoward was found in the process.
Surgery started at just after midday and yours truly was ringing the ward every couple of hours for an update. I finally decided to make my way in to visit him, reaching the ward at 5.15. No sign of Roger or his bed. The only sign that he had been there was his rolled up dressing gown on the bedside chair.
Sister informed me that he hadn't come back from theatre. She rang down, to be told they were still operating. She told me he'd be in the recovery room for a "long time" but to ring later on.
I met up with Rob & Suze in the foyer and related the tale to them. We decided to call it a day, and go back to our place for a curry.
On the way home, the surgeon rang me on my mobile. Impressive or what? We are talking NHS here!! He told me that it went well and they were very happy with the result. That Roger would be in recovery for the rest of the night, but back in the ward tomorrow and would most probably sleep for the whole of tomorrow. He and I both!
I am now going to bed, tired but relieved!!

Hi Suzanne, tiring time for you all. I tried to send this before but my techie ways are a bit naff
ReplyDeleteHope Rog is progressing better now--he should be just right for visitors on my return from Cyprus. Tell him to stop lazing around in that bed and get cracking
Take care all of you
