hurrah!

Mum finally had the op today. all eight hours of it. We didn't find out til after half 7 tonight how it had gone, so today was a LONG and rather fraught day.
But went down to see her and she was awake and chatting and wanting tea (in between bouts of morphine), which is a good sign! Just have to see how healing/recovery goes now. And how you cope with your head being held up by 2 metal rods fused to your spine...

Still. it is DONE and nothing disasterous happened (had to listen to the dr yesterday explaining What Could Go Wrong and Worst Case Scenarios, which did not help mental state today), so, YAY.

Have big plate of garlic potatoes and bottle of fizzy wine now. ANd tomorrow LOTS OF SLEEPING.

you have SO MUCH EARNED the wine. especially after What Could Go Wrong and Worst Case Scenarios because YIKES. i send more (imaginary internet) wines and ciders. possibly carried by jane cobb in pair of small denim shorts.

hope things keep going well for the mater.

the worse case scenarios bit was... a WORLD of yikes. Started as 'possible weakness in a limb' and worked its way up through lung collapse, via total paralysis and ended at DEATH.
Which was nice

Jayne in hot pants? Bearing ciders? This is an image that will stay with me for a while...
