Confusion

This is to finish off posts about our week in hospital.

Before we left, the surgeon offered us a date for the operation at the end of next week. To allow the boy more time to recover and to give us more time with him we have left it that the operation will be in two weeks time.

It was with some pride that me and the wife watched the boy walk unsteadily off the ward, less than a week after the operation. Had a quiet afternoon at home. He tired very quickly and spent much of the afternoon watching TV. Couldn't really say no.

Auntie and granny came to visit which made him very happy. Pandas came as well. Auntie has been so good to us and him. Then tried to get him to bed early. Hopefully, being home will have given him more security and so he will have a better night.

Have finally told the wife and auntie about this blog. Didn't do so before as I wasn't sure I'd keep it up. They were ok with it, at least initially. Turns out the wife knew already but hadn't said anything. How much this will affect these posts remains to be seen.

Also, re-read posts from the last week. Was tempted to amend some for grammar and bits missing but have decided not to as that's what was important to me at the time about what he went through. Noticed for example that auntie's visits are recorded but not those of auntie m or Granny. This is either because I didn't see much of them or they didn't see much of the boy while I was there.

So, it's back to work today. Not sure how I'm going to deal with such a rapid switch back especially when the next op is so close.
