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.

Thanks.

It's the powerlessness that is so dstructive. the first day she was in hospital I had a whole lot of littel jobs laid out to keep me occupied, but the second morning I'd run out of jobs and I just fell apart.

I'm a whole lot better now- and so is she.
