too tired for a long enough entry to say everything.

Josh had his op, came round was extremely sore and statue still for a day when not shaking and rigid with pain, lots of morphine and other pain relief. recovered steadily over the next few days; with some fast heart rate worries, bursting the glue and bleeding once, being too brave and fooling the drs he was ok...til he moved, slowly managing to have tubes removed, bad nigths for us both- me on a chair, him waking in pain for medicene, and a lovely trip to the 'cinema' (room with chairs) that they were showing the new winnie the pooh movie, decorations, dressed up characters (we missed these as he was asleep after medicene for another bout of pain) and goody bags including a cuddly large piglet - it was amazing how this not only cheered him up but actually got him to the next stage of recovery, thank you Disney!
Tom and Aaron slept at Chris', thank you Money family, much nicer than my chair by the bed! Ethan had a lovely time with Granny and Grandad and mostly only seems to have missed Aaron.
We wait now to see if this surgery to remove the scar tissue (adhesions) from the last surgery does the trick for the pain and vomiting, whether it re-forms, and for the histology result from the nodes they removed for biopsy. back for review in 6-8 weeks.
Josh is able to play for short periods but gets tired and in pain easily and is not good at knowing his limits, his bowels also are not very settled. for now its a light diet, lots of pain killers, taking it easy, sleeping with me in my bed,
