Surgery again

First a chronicle of the surgery drama:

Jan 4:  Original date of surgery

Jan 5:  Date doc requested hubby to present himself for appointment.  Turned out he had somehow forgotten that 4 Jan was hubby's surgery date, and wondered why his calendar was free that day!  But he said it was just as well as he wouldn't be available after that anyway.  New date Feb 10, after CNY.

Feb 4: Hospital called, surgery had to be postponed due to a malfunctioning machine.  New date Feb 15 

Feb 9:  Hubby develops a bad cough.  Kept visiting GPs and pharmacies to get meds 

Feb 12:  Cleared to proceed for surgery.  Hubby starts taking the pre-surgery medication 

Feb 13:  Doc called, surgery had to be postponed due to malfunctioning machine (we will never know if it's the same one!)  New date Mar 1.

Pretty fed-up by then heh.  Roller-coaster emotions must have been awful for hubby.  Each time I also had to reset the preparations for the kids to stay to my parents' place.

Feb 28: Finally, went to the hospital as scheduled.  Getting a room took ages.  We were planted in the admissions area from 930am to 6pm  - tests proceeded as usual for hubby.  Someone would come to take him for a test then bring him back to admissions.  Repeat for the rest of the tests. The blood test was at the Patients Lounge on 9/F Menara Timur - which was a blessing as hubby then knew where to find food and snacks!  The chairs were way more comfortable too.  

Wait wait wait

Mar 1: Hubby was taken to the operating theatre in next morning.  At 330pm upon waking up, unlike the previous time, hubby was able to move his right arm (as well as leg).  So relieved!  

Warning that the next picture is not for the faint-hearted... long cut to remove the tumours.  The faint perpendicular (much shorter) scar is from the previous surgery.

Long cut
