Welcome to the house of fun

What a insane, fun life we lead.
5pm this evening and our phones are ringing. Its Bristol Children's hospital.  Could we get up to the hospital this evening so that Rhys cqn be admitted to hospital in order that tomorrow morning they can do a biopsy on the meningioma to confirm what the lump actually is before they start the radiotherapy.  If it's not what they thought it was then the treatment plan changes.

4 hours later, after a mad packing and dinner eating session  we are at the hospital waiting for the surgeon to come and talk to us about the operation and get consent forms signed.

Since all of this has happened at short notice  we've got problems with accommodation.  Only one of us can stay with us while the other has to go home.

Its certainly been a fun evening,  mad dash to Bristol, into room and then down to A&E because we have to have gone through them to be admitted to the ward. I assume that is because we've come up to hospital outside the normal hours for going onto a ward.

One thing is for certain, we are living in interesting time.
