our brother is scheduled for an op tomorrow.

[misdee]

me and mieow are scared.

thats not a bad idea

i have always said that I want a room of my own at the hospital and the doctors can come to ME!!

dh is being looked after by some nice nurses, i'm sure he could get Si a few treats down there lol.

we have ayot ward at the QE2 for dh. they all know him there.

hehe!! Not sure if he will be able to eat for a while

true.

hugs to mieow and misdee

My daughter has a similar problem to your brother but her lower oesophageal sphincter didn't allow food into her stomach. She had an op which sorted it out to some extent but a girl we met over the internet had the same problem complicated by a stricture which developed following prior treatment.

Hope your brother comes through it ok.

Thinking of you two and your brother.

couldnt sleep. feeling awful.

Hope it's all gone well for your bro.

xxxx

Fingers and toes crossed for the op

thinking of you and yours xx.

he is down in theatre now.

Hope it goes well - hugs again to you all.

i am a bad sister. we went to see him and i couldnt stay. seeing him with tube up his nose and not able to speak, and looking awful scared me. brother knows how much i hate hospitals, and tbh i wasnt preppared to see him like that. with dh i know waht i'm facing when he has his major op, but i wasnt preparted at all. mieow was good and stayed with my parents for about an hr whilst i saw dh upstairs. mum was quite upset.

of course you're not misdee - it's the hardest thing in the world seeing someone you love like that. some of us cope better than others, that's all.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.
