Shoulder surgery

Photograph by Fyn

Praise the Lord. The shoulder surgery went on smoothly for Smily yesterday. He checked in at 12.30 pm and had the surgery an hour later. Being a good son, he put on a brave front in order not to let us worry. At about 4 pm, there was still no sign of him at the Observation Room. Margaret started to panic. I went to check with the staff nurse and was told that he was being observed at the Post-Anaesthesia Room. He was finally wheeled out to the Observation Room at 4.30 pm. It's sort of a family reunion. He looked healthy and related what he went through to us. The biggest surprise came from his colleague who visited him out of nowhere. We were puzzled how he sneaked in and managed to locate him. Later we were told that he was familiar with the place as he too had his shoulder surgery there last month. What a joke! Fyn took a photograph of Smily before he was finally discharged at about 6.40 pm.

P.S. We would like to thank all the well wishers for their concern and prayers.
