Nick back at school today - off last week with a stinking cold. Spent much of the day finding teachers to organise logistics for getting his work during his recovery period. The school and his teachers have been fantastic and a huge help so I think we're covered.
When he returns to school next term, 4 weeks post op, he'll be sitting his mock GCSEs so I spent some time today reviewing his exam timetable. Am worried about him sitting for 1/2/3 exams a day so soon after the operation, so have been emailing school to see if we can re-jig his timetable a little. Spread them out a little so he doesn't have to sit for too long on any one day.
The day has been spent on more pre-op preparations. Not sure how people manage this day if they themselves are having an MD - I'm exhausted and fully fit! Some things covered...
- final food shop. Snacks/fruit/bottles of water (small with sports cap) for Nick, plus some pasta tubs etc for us both whilst in hospital. Plus made sure plenty of food for the rest of the family as I know I will be too pre-occupied with Nick to cook over the next few days
- call to friend to see if she can be my emergency dog walker in case I get held up at the hospital
- fill out hospital forms
- bring down futon mattress and spare duvet and pillows into living room
- pack bag for hospital, for me, and make sure Nick does his
A stack of other minor things, and am bound to have forgotten something. Guess I'll find out what tomorrow.
