The day before Deb goes into the QE for her craniotomy. We visited the hospital today for Deb to have an MRI scan and have blood tests carried out prior to her surgery. The scan results will be used by the surgeon Mr Kay to pinpoint the precise area in the brain he needs to remove (computer assisted stereotactic surgery). Deb has to ring at noon tomorrow to see if there is a bed available. She will then be admitted and the operation carried out on Thursday.
As you can imagine we are all a bit tense. (No more than a bit tense - bloody worried I think just about covers it). But we have all been heartened by the love and support from all of our friends and family. If good wishes count for anything then Deb will sail through this operation.
Thank you all. As you know I do not believe in a divine power but I do have faith in Mr Kay. Here's hoping his years of training and practise, knowledge of medicine and the structures of the brain and the wealth of experience he has gained from carrying out similar operations are all used to good effect on Thursday. I will try to update the blog daily over the next week or so.
