Thinking of you & hope all went well

onlyjoking9329 · 06/08/2007 23:53

he ended up spending four hours in recovery as his heart rate was to high, they did lots of tests to find out why but couldn't work out why it was high, they thought it must be cos he was in pain so gave him lots of morphine, he came up to the ward and i got to see him at 9pm. i have never been so pleased to see him. his head is very swollen
he has a black eye and a bandage covering most of his head, he was very emotional and very drowsy, very confused but not surprizing really.
i am so so pleased that he is alive, i love him sooo much. what a day,

onlyjoking9329 · 07/08/2007 00:04

some sleep would be good, i haven't had much the last two nights. whats the betting that DS will be up at four.
