Evening all,
Well we still don't know the results of mums operation yet :sigh: My brother has just phoned and he said she's in more pain but looks incredibly well for someone who's just had major surgery. She's moved from hdu to a normal part of the ward and has been sitting out in a chair. She's still wired up to lots of machines but they're cutting her epidural pain killers down gradually, and her vital signs are good. David saw her wounds tonight and he said she has two huge cuts across her back, and of course there are more wounds on the lung, so its hardly surprising she's sore
Also, David spoke to a nurse and she said it was possible that mum might have to wait until she goes to her op appt to get her results, which does seem a bit strange as other patients were given theirs on the same day
I'm going to see her after work tomorrow so I'll ask again.
Andrew and I went to wi this evening and didn't do too badly considering
I gained 1/2lb and Andrew gained 1 1/2 so we're both ok with that. Andrew is fending for himself at mums, cooking his own food, looking after her 5 cats (one of which is seriously ill & on 4 tablets a day for e coli) & trying to keep on top of all the mess they make, & working. I know he's 24, but he's so incredibly young for his age in so many ways, and I'm so proud of him for stepping in and offering to do what he's doing. It's one less thing for David and I to worry about. Andrew's so close to Mum and always spends as much time as possible with her.
I have to say I've treated myself tonight not just to a G&T but to one of those skinny cow choc icecreams...and it was well worth the 4.5 syns :drool:
