    SA I'm so sorry the news was bad. Fingers crossed the operation helps him to feel better as soon as possible.

    What a roller coaster this has been for you and him

    Sorry to read your latest updates, Sun.A - hope MrSA gets transferred this evening and put on the surgeon's list first thing tomorrow.

    Have you got a decent bottle of vino? ..Think you're allowed a couple of glasses to help you relax, and with any luck get some sleep tonight.

    As Lucky says; we are here for you, (((hugs))).

    Hope tomorrow brings better news.

    Hello all and thank you for your lovely messages

    Mr SA has had a shunt put into his brain going into his stomach so the excess fluid can drain away. I rang up this morning and the op went well and the shunt is doing its job. He is in intensive care on the neuro ward at the moment and is still drowsy. I will be visiting later on with DS so hopefully he will have picked up by then. Had a phone call from the hospital just after midnight to ask for permission to do the op. I was fast asleep and nearly had a heart attack when the phone rang. Didn't get too much sleep after that as you can imagine.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Are you at work today or can you grab a nap before visiting?

    Glad the op went well and hoping you see an improvement tonight Xx

    WOW what an awful week you've had.I'm glad the operation has gone well and that he's in the best place for recovery.
    Once he's ready for discharge refuse to take him until they have everything set up safely for him.Tunas post rings true that they don't give a monkeys about helping until you are on your knees.You'll probably have a greater chance of a care package if he's blocking a bed.Make the hospital SWs and discharge team do their jobs..it makes me so bloody angry.
    Big hugs to you and hope his recovery is quick
