DLL's operation

DLL

She's beautiful, and brave, and she's had four hours of surgery. Four hours. Four hours for the surgical team, four hours under anaesthetic for DLL, and what seemed like a lifetime waiting for her to come up to the ward for BLISS and me.

Eventually she pitched up. She gave us a little wave as she went past the waiting zone on her wheelie-bed.

Tubes and wires everywhere, and hooked up to a machine that went bing. Or automatically inflated the blood pressure cuff, and checked her pulse, O₂ volume, and other vital signs.

I can't express my relief.

I can't express how odd it feels at home without her.

I just wanted her back, out of surgery.

As soon as that happened, I just want her back to her normal self.
