Tuesday Update.

Roger had his MRI scan this morning. It took 40 mins. and the whole process was noisy. The pictures were good he was told, although the results weren't in when I left to come home this afternoon.

Now! You know when something happens, and you wish you'd acted differently at the time, 'cos with hindsight it's all soooooo clear? Well! I'm having one of those moments now. Just before I left the building tonight to come home and eat, a young doctor appeared at the foot of Roger's bed and said she had just come to update us. Mr Farouk (the surgeon who did the reversal) wants to pop down and see Roger when he's finished in his endoscopy clinic this afternoon. The results of the MRI scan aren't in yet, but he wants to get a second opinion from a surgeon at Kings College Hpl.

Mr. Farouk is quite willing to see Roger as an o.p in his clinics, but he feels that once he's off the antibiotics and is stabilised as far as the urine infection is concerned, then Roger can go home.
What do you make of that?

If the results aren't in yet, why is he seeking a second opinion? He doesn't know what it is yet.
Or has he decided that whatever it is, it's not in his field of expertise. Is he hoping to get the 'Kings' surgeon to do whatever is necessary? If so, is the guy going to come to the RBH or do they expect me to get Roger to 'Kings' and will it take another 2 years wait?

In the meantime Roger seems to have turned from Lion to Lamb. Where he was once saying 'I'm not yo-yo ing back & forth, I'm staying here till something's done." He's now saying "Well! I might as well wait at home as be here."

It wasn't until I was eating my dinner, that I thought, you stupid devil, you quite clearly should've hung on there until Mr Farouk came down. Is he trying to pass the buck I wonder?
I just hope the results are out now and it's a simple procedure and something is done quickly.

We'll see what tomorrow brings!
