    We're all so relieved lilty.. It's a fairly routine op all things considered but it's the first surgery my Dad has ever had and he was very nervous (& trying v hard not to show it). He was euphoric yesterday afternoon - a combination of relief and pain medication I think ;) and today he's still very happy. Tomorrow I think the boredom will set in :D and then I'll know he's really back to normal! Oh, and we skyped Mum while I was there so that she can see him, she stayed in Portugal as they've got a dog (TessDog's brother). I think she was very happy to actually see him, they have spoken on the phone, but it's not quite the same xx

    Thank you MeandO :) as I suspected, when I went to see him this morning he was in a bit of pain, and complaining ;) This afternoon the consultant said he could come home, so he's now shuffling round the house, very glad to be home, and still complaining :D so he's alright really :D he's eaten a good tea, and I expect will be in bed very shortly. I'll miss BC tonight so I can keep an eye on him ;)

    Small OP to CC1 made; sig amended
