Mum's home!

Well, Mum's home! After being away five days at the vet, well I think that's where she went for her operation, she came home on Monday. It wasn't all good news for us though, as none of us were allowed in the bedroom. She emerged quickly to fuss us all individually then disappeared back round the bedroom door with a lot of oohing and ouching!

At this point, on behalf of Mum, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the nurses at the Sancta Maria, hope you liked the website Lorna! Not forgetting the head vet, Mr. Kevelighan who took Mum's bits out! She said sorry they were a bit of a struggle to remove and to tell you "nice motor!" Talking about motors, Dad and Jason have for some months been in friendly competion about who can chav their car up the most and now both of them have almost rigged out their vehicles to the hilt. As it happens, Mum came home from her op last week in the souped up MG ZS and I must tell you what happened as it was soooo funny for all except Dad!

On discharge, Mum toddles down and gets in the car to travel the 65 miles home. As soon as the car hits a bump in the road, she is oohing and ouching all over the place. Apparently after a hysterectomy (that's the posh word for being spaded) it feels likes your insides are all swishing about inside you and it's very uncomfortable. Sounds horrible doesn't it? Anyway, Dad is driving his chavved up car which looks like this.................................

and he has to crawl round Swansea doing 15/20 mph in a 30mph limit, avoiding all the bumps and potholes he can, with a huge queue of traffic behind him! He was mortified! Bet he wishes instead of one of those "baby on board" stickers, he had a "wife's just had an op" sticker!

Well, things are almost back to normal today as I have been allowed back in the bedroom to lie on the bed with Luce. She almost blotted the copybook, as Mum got up for two minutes to go to the loo and when she got back to bed, Luce had taken the book she was reading onto the floor and made several teethmarks in it! Luckily though, she hadn't ripped the pages and it was still readable! Mum is now on her second course of antibiotics as she has a wound infection, but apart from that she is feeling a lot better. Thanks to all those who have sent get well wishes and I'm sure she will be back on her feet in no time.

Still can't quite get used to seeing Dad in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove................................hmmm.

Thanks to you all again,
