After The Op

[poliphilo]

That was a long day. Ailz had the operation in the morning and was transferred to the High Dependency Unit in the early afternoon. The infection was so bad that they couldn't do keyhole sugery, but had to make a big incision so they could look around properly. I assume they took out the gall bladder entire, but no-one has actually explained it to me yet. The main thing is that she's out of pain (out of serious pain, I mean) and is at last able to get some proper sleep (she was so short of sleep before the operation she was hallucinating (a giant rabbit, a Russian woman playing the violin.)

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

I hope you have the whole story by now and that she is going fine? I've been kind of "out of things" the last few days so I am sorry if I have not offered my encouragement and sympathy!!!

No apologies needed.

I've been semi-detached from LJ these past few days and completely out of touch with whats going on in my friends' lives.

But we seem to be out of the danger area now- and I'm going to be able to start catching up.
