The Day Before

We had a great day today with the Sydney grandparents. Angus loved his first swimming lesson at a local hydrotherapy pool. Mother and son both love the water warm and neither was disappointed. A bit of water hokey pokey and floating plastic toys and the session was a hit. After he had a little nap we went to the beach for lunch. If you were in Perth today you'll know what I mean when I say the weather was glorious. The afternoon was choc-a-bloc with some grandchild worshipping and a walk into the city. Dinner was a warm seafood salad.

So now the fun stuff is over it's time to pack a hospital bag for him and me. He'll be admitted at 7am (after 'fasting' from 5am) and in theatre at 7.30am. Apparently it only takes an hour and should be routine. MB will stay with him until he's out cold and I'll welcome him back into the world in Recovery. Funnily enough he'll be having an epidural - this means they can block the pain in the area of the kidney and give him a light amount of anaesthetic to keep him asleep. Should be home in about 24 hours they say.

See you on the other side.
