best of luck to your dh tommorrow / mon. My mum had this and it was amazing how quickly she came round after the op and was up and about again. Just a thought to prepare the dc's for the staples they will use to recoonect the scan as they were quite a shock when i first saw them. Hope it's good news afterwards.
