Post-Op

They were expecting a 15 year old boy and got a 6'3" 86kg giant. After quickly upgrading oxygen masks etc to 'large adult' Tom had the arthroscopy.

I had an anxious hour and a half wait - I knew everything would be okay, but somehow a little niggle of anxiety gradually grew and grew until the nurse came to say he was in the recovery room. He was brave and lovely and thanked the surgeon and nurses even as he woozily came round.

This picture is bit out of focus, like Tom was for much of the afternoon.

There's nothing like watching your child go into an operating theatre to remind you how much you love them.
