So Far So Good

Elly has come through her operation successfully.  She went down to theatre at 9 o'clock this morning and returned to the ward at about 3.30 this afternoon.  She is sat up in bed watching tv and appears to be in good spirits. All her "obs" are normal, so she seems to be on the right track. She's as high as a kite of course, thanks to the morphine, and thought someone had left their glasses behind on her bedside cabinet, until she realised they were hers which explained why she couldn't see them clearly.  She was quite happy for me to go and get something to eat at 5.30 so she could watch Neighbours.  It was a long day today for me and our kids, but thanks to the company of J*** and D*****, it wasn't so bad as it could have been.  E**** is in Germany working but has been keeping in constant touch.  Thanks again for all your good wishes to both of us, it really does mean an awful lot.
