I'm just here to moan. Poor DH etc but honestly.

Clearly 46 year olds who've only played mixed hockey for the last year should not suddenly play 11 a side at a hockey tournament.

We've had to rearrange a load of stuff and I doubt he'll be able to fly to Sardinia for May half term. Grr.

Ouch @Gingernaut. It shows why surgery has to be within 14 days. Last time DH's operation was on a bank holiday Monday to stick within the timeframe.

@Oddgainis there something obvious that I should have done to avoid getting breast cancer? Do tell.

So you don’t want your husband to engage In thing that may result in an injury?
