The Longest Day

I gather that Roger was taken down for surgery at 9.30am. I rang the ward at 3.30pm and he was not back. I rang again at 4.30pm and he was still in recovery. I rang about 5.30pm and was told that the sister had just been asked to go down and collect him from Recovery. Then they stopped answering the phone, so I was unable to get through at all. Finally got through to the ward again at about 6.30pm. I was told that Roger was back on the ward and he has an epidural to help him manage the pain. The guy couldn't tell me very much, as the ward sister knew more, but she was on her break, so I'm going to ring back before her shift ends, to try and glean some more information about how the op went.

If I manage to do that, I will update & edit this particular blog (I won't start a new one) so keep checking. Can't promise, but I'll do my very best.

7.40pm. UPDATE: Just managed to have a few words with Sister, who collected Roger from recovery. There were no particular problems, hence he came straight back to the ward. He was a little cold, but is warmed up now. She said he would be ringing me as soon as he feels up to it, and in the meantime she will tell him that I rang and that everyone is thinking about him.
