Hi, was wondering if anyone knows how many people you're a.lowed in the operating theatre? It's just my mother in law is going to be there, and I was wondering if it might be possible to have her come into the theatre with my husband. She's just been diagnosed with cancer, and although we don't know the full picture yet, it's not looking good. We're all trying to stay strong and positive for her. I really want her to be able to spend as much time with her grandchild as possible, and to give her a positive memory in the midst of such a shitty week. Do you think they might make an exception under the circumstances, or is it a hard and fast, partners - only, type thing? The hospital is the Borders General in Scotland, btw.
