After a hearty meal at Oma's place, we went for a visit...with a mission - to bring Dad some wholesome, home cooked, Oma food!! Oh so delicious!!
PROBLEM: Dad isn't allowed any food!
WHY: Because he's having another operation today....which means no food beforehand.
So our intentions did not get executed as planned, and Dad was feeling VERY hungry by the evening. After an anxious few hours waiting, Dad finally got the call for the operating theatre - relief! Often it's the case that the staff will say something is going to happen, only to find out some hours later that it isn't for one reason or another - very much a long waiting game. We need A LOT of patience.
At about 7.30pm tonight Dad went to the operating theatre. The procedure? A change of dressing, debridement, and a close look inside the arm to see what damage there is. This time they are particularly looking at the nerve and muscle damage. I'm hoping it's not as bad as it has been made out to be - please let there be a miracle.

Hi, We have been following TWR's progress with angst, interest, hope, etc. Yes Patience is needed in spades when dealing with the health care system as I have found out with Dad and Mom. Staff are usually great but the system has it's own mind about pace. It is pleasing to read that the mindset is positive. Regards, R & M.
