St. Mark's Beckons!

After an unending succession of bank holidays and consequently nothing happening on the hospital front, at last a breakthrough. A surgeon at St. Mark's Hospital, Harrow has agreed to take over Roger's care. I have in front of me, the letter confirming it.

Now we wait for a bed to become available, and Roger will go by ambulance directly from the RBH to ST. Mark's Hospital, where he will have various consultations to decide on the best surgical option for him.

I will be staying up there with him, as I want to be in on all consultations and close by during the surgery. NB. May not be able to blog during this period.

Hoping it will be sooner rather than later. We want to get it over and done with now. Roger has put on a few pounds. He is now 9 stone 11lbs. He has a bizarre diet of rubbish to eat. As long as it's refined, white bread, white sugar, white rice and lots of animal fats and cream he can have it, but if it's healthy wholemeal bread, brown rice and wholemeal pasta he can't. It's only a matter of time before he starts on the "Maccy D's" Still! the weight's going on, and that's the main thing!
