day 2 in hospital or day four of saga

When we left last night we were told that Rodger was first priority for the morning.   Reality was different.   About 10 he got a pair of stockings, then some fancy underwear and a hat about 12, by the afternoon he had been prepped for surgery.  At 3 was told he was half hour away and then at 6 was told he was next in line after two emergencies and the good news was that he was in front of four others.  I suppose that is some progression.  Now at 7 it looks highly unlikely that he will be going anywhere tonight.  Wow.  No sooner said than they came for him.   But still a little hitch.   They wheeled Rodger into surgery and then reaslised they didn't have all the paperwork they needed signed so they wheeled him out again, raced around got the Dr. to sign for the surgery, then wheeled him back in again.  Three hours later and he was back in the ward and awake.  Had an eight hole plate put in, several bits of bone removed and a large screw right through the collar bone to keep top and bottom together.   The extra bit that they originally thought was an like an extra rib that he had turned out to be a piece of bone from the collar bone so it certainly made a good break of it so to speak.  Glad it is finally all done.  Really pretty poor effort to have to wait four days for surgery after a motorbike accident.
