No liquids. No food. All day.
Finally, it was his turn. His driver arrived and picked him up. Off they went at 15:20.
Just a few stitches.

The nurses’ desk hadn’t heard anything.
One hour, two hours, three hours, we got a bit nervous.
They told us, the operation had gone well and that he was in the wake-up room.
The wake-up room. Yes.
After four hours, they told us he was on his way back up to the ward.
The driver probably didn’t know the way and got lost. We got worried. Very.
At 20:03 both eventually arrived.
Back on the Sondenkost, with a bit of oxygen for the night, and a 30 degree elevated back for the night, to keep the head up, as the doctor ordered. Stitches will be removed in 10 days.
And a small, flat, white, innocent looking plaster on his neck.

Sounds like a long & stressful day. Take care and mind yourselves. Good to have that procedure finished with. That is the plus.
You’re right – more excitement is hard to imagine…
To wait is the most difficult thing to do… when you don´t know what is happening… I think there should be a law that obligate doctors to inform much more often the familly of a patient of what is going on … Besos y abrazos
For them – it’s just routine and they wonder why we’re making such a fuss and keep asking. Different people with different background living, at the end of the day, a very different life in different worlds, Ana.
