Woke with real pain, first time this surgery, about 2-3 on the pain scale. By mid-afternoon the panadol and voltaren are doing their thing and I am starting to feel comfortable.
Nurse Maud in to check the wound, all OK. Apparently they will be in weekly from now, I don't quite see the point as the wound is very clean and tidy.
Sleep is still a real problem. Google advises that this is typical after major surgery and I just need to get over, should be OK within 2 to 3 weeks but in the meantime I must avoid napping during the day.
Late afternoon my sister called. She was with my mother at her GP today and apparently a recent scan on my mother shows several lesions on her liver. Not good news, it really hit me quite hard. Mum is 86.
