Finally tracked down my Houdini husband. He is back on Hopkins ward in a side room. Apparently got there at midnight last night, and this afternoon found him sitting in a bedside chair looking remarkably well considering.
Turned out to be a very complicated day. Mr. Uppal from plastics, couldn't get there until 1.30pm, so they had to jiggle the 'list' around to fit everyone in. Some, inevitably, took longer than they thought. Mr Uppal arrived at 1.30pm, but Roger couldn't go down to theatre until 4.30pm, because of this Mr Uppal couldn't wait, so he went, and Mr. Farouk ended up doing the reversal and the hernias all on his own. Fortunately it all went very well, and Mr. Farouk is pleased with his handywork.
I have to say that Roger definately looked trimmer around the stomach, and provided the colon can "perform" in the conventional manner ( that we all know and love, but Roger could only dream of for the last two years) then he will be allowed home. Oh! they're also waiting for the drain from his op site to run clear, but perhaps that's too much information. Actually! It's all a bit basic anyway! If anyone wants to pop in and see him in the evening I'm sure he'd be pleased to see a friendly face. Visiting is until 8.00pm. I go along in the afternoon. Check first to make sure he's still there. Don't take flowers as they're not allowed on that ward (hygiene).
I can relax now that I know where he is, and I have seen him.
