Not Sure I Would Be Quite So Positive Myself!

A long 3.5 hour drive down to Oxford this morning to the Orthopaedic Hospital to collect Dad after his hip replacement. I can’t believe that he’s already coming home only 48 hours after the operation. But he’s looking well, up on his feet (with crutches) and feeling good. It helps that he didn’t have a general anaesthetic, just an epidural, which meant he was awake for the whole operation. He said it was really interesting to know what was going on...not sure I would be quite so positive about that experience myself!

We are now back at his house and he’s resting comfortably. I have had a chance to have a quick mooch in his garden and loved this pretty coloured rose in amongst the raindrops.
