On Tuesday my son went to the local hospital and had his hernia fixed. He didn’t react well to the antisetic, but the next morning he was much brighter. He was allowed home after only one night in hospital, I think that is a record actually.
So 6 weeks of taking it easy. That shouldn’t be hard!! He has had plenty of practise. But it is a relief both for him and for me that it went with no hiccups. Something is good!

My son turned 18 today, and even though I treat each day as it comes, so I don’t get any surprises and I can survive each day, this is a real milestone. Both my boys are now adults.
No party, but we went out to dinner as a family. That in itself is a rare occurrence. Mum, Dad and the boys. I probably won’t see him for a few days now as he will be off doing all those things he couldn’t do before, clubs and the alchol thing that they all do. Dancing and playing cards. Not saying he probably hasn’t done it all before, but now he dosen’t have to look over his shoulder.
I do feel really bad that I couldn’t buy him a present, but finances are tight. I am sure he realizes this, well I hope he does. He didn’t mention anything.

We have just retuned from RBH consultant appointments and nerological MRI. Good news is we don’t have to see them again until October, unless there are any issues. Respiratory function, slight improvement on the last one. Renal function, currently holding the same. Looking good and stable.
On the bright side, three monthly appointments is a plus, in the meantime we just need that hernia surgery out of the way. That way he can move on without that hanging over his head. He has elected to have it at the local hospital as it means less time in hospital.
Mind you they thought he may have had his surgery on his hernia by now. But they are sending through a letter to explain a few things about him to them. Let’s see what happens. Sort of a cloud hanging waiting.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!!
