Well done on all the balls you're juggling.  

Hospital visits seem to be all over the place still.  My great-niece born in November was born in hospital by emergency caesarean, and mum and dad were both in the room together, all the time, for about 6 days.  The new dad didn't even get to go outside - and there were no visitors allowed at all.  

Anyway, your OH will hopefully bear up well under it all - so, so tricky.

Thanks KC. It's a mahoosive op and DH is being very stoic.

How is dc's autism assessment going? We're also going down that road with dc.

I left it too late really, she's 14. It has been done with great kindness and respect though.

@savingholmes got any top tips?

I hope the op goes well and you manage to negotiate the visiting, must be so tricky for you all.

Thanks NG. He is booked into a cheap hotel the night before as he has to be there at 7.
I found him a discount code but he didn't manage to use it (sigh).

Currently waiting for two new tyres that I can ill afford (punctured one plus bald spare). I need my car fully functional as hospital 90 minute drive from home. The joys of country life.

Just had an email from GP saying "you were due some good luck" bless.

Dc is also 14. Now, all they have been, and been through, makes sense.

Hope all runs super smoothly for dh.

hope op goes well for your dh

Thanks @Watty1 and @apple_muncher.

Car done, a bit of bedroom tidying done, bed stripped and remade. Had a sleep, Long Covid has wiped me out.

Collected DD2 from a club. Got the guinea pigs out for a cuddle.

Farrier tomorrow at silly o'clock so need to get Plops and Bigorse in to get their shoes off. 

Sadly gave up the room I had booked for my uni weekend and failed to win an aga on ebay. I'm giving it a couple of days as the winning bidder has only one piece of feedback.

Well done for getting so much done while suffering the effects of Long Covid - it can't be easy.

The LC must be an absolute nightmare, you're doing incredibly well.

Hope op goes well.

On autism PM me. My DD diagnosed at 16, me after she was.
