Each day Simon seems a bit better. The epidural was only effective on his left leg, so it was quite painful for him with his right leg having had a bone removed. But today the epidural stopped working completely so they just took it out. Fortunately he isn't too sore because the morphine seems to be doing a good job. He hasn't had a good night sleep yet, so hopefully tonight now that he is out of intensive care (he came out this afternoon) he might get proper rest. He is pretty dopey and out of it with being tired and the morphine

He has carpal tunnel syndrome in each hand which makes doing anything a bit tricky, so the doctors are keeping an eye on this but think it should go away. I went up tonight with Daisy and Kitty and we had dinner with him. He is enjoying the food in this hospital which is great because it means I don't have to bring him up his meals each day. Daisy was pretty impressed with all of his stitches. I could count 47 in his left leg, but there are more under bandages.

Prof. Choong and Damien the plastic surgeon are really pleased with how it's all going so far. So apart from tiredness things are going well.
