21st April

Hubby had to be at the hospital for the removal at 7.30 - so up, washed dressed (evil me drank a mug of tea in front of him!). Once at the hospital, we did decide that no matter what time his further appointments would be that we would get there around 7am as we had our choice of car park spaces even though we still had to pay the daylight robbery charges.

Booked in but I was not able to stop with him, they didn't have a waiting room that I could sit in - wasn't prepared for that so I just had to leave him. Sent him a text reminding him of what information he needs to gain from the doctors etc and drove home.

Got bored sitting at home and as I had a car park ticket for 8 hours I went back up - might as well wait there than wait at home. Hubby sent a text through - he was bored. He had the op a few hours before but they won't let him home till he has a pee. Apparently he told the nurse that if she gave him a couple pints of lager then he'll be able to go, for some reason they said no!

Got him home via the GPs as the hospital wouldn't do him a sick note. He has to have a CT scan within the next two weeks and an appointment with the consultant in 3 weeks to discuss the results.

The advisory note we were given had the heading 'Minor Scrotum Surgery' - hubby doesn't think its minor. Impressed with him so far - but the painkillers are still working. I am dreading the next couple of days as he suffers from the worst man flu on the planet so this is going to be a nightmare!
