I eventually got to see Dan in High Care. He was fast asleep, with the oxygen mask still on his face. I stayed at his bedside for a long time. Lucy, the nursing sister encouraged me to talk to him. I touched his face, hoping that he would wake up, but he was in a deep sleep - understandable. I decided to go home and catch up on lost sleep too. I'll give the afternoon visiting hours a miss, and will go to the hospital this evening again. I'm positive that he'll be more awake by then.
I feel relieved that all went well with the operation. The surgeon mentioned that the part of the leg that has been removed, will now be sent to the lab for extensive analysis, the results that will be made known to us later.
On behalf of Dan I want to thank all his family and friends, as well as mine, who called and send messages to wish him well for today's op. It means so much to both of us.
I'll keep you updated with our beloved friend's progress daily.
