[_bigjobbies_]

When we told Blinky that Uncle Mikey was sick, she told us that she would sing him Skin-a-ma-rinky-dink and that would make him feel better

Am completely failing at everything today - can only think of mikey.

btw - day bed not $169, but $669. There is one at $229, but then we'd need to add mattresses and linen.

[angriest]

I know how you feel, except for the bit about the day bed - I have no idea what that is about. But other than the day bed, I am completely incapable of anything this morning.

I keep looking at the clock, thinking 'How long does it take?' and 'Does debulking mean removal?'

[angriest]

Debulking means they're taking out part but not all of the tumour. It allows them to relieve pressure on the brain (so hopefully less headaches for Mikey), and to undertake a proper diagnosis of the tumour and find out what it is, and work out how to tackle what's left.

My understanding is that it can be a pretty long surgery.

[baby_elvis]

Yeah, I saw ten hours or more listed places.

[angriest]

On the other hand, our Mikey's played board games that lasted longer than that.

B just told me they're heading in 'soon to see him when he comes out'... so possibly not as long as that, for now. I had seen the 10 hours too:-(

[baby_elvis]

Oh, how is she?

[fe2h2o]

Playing with his iPhone:-) It's sms... so not much to go on...

[fe2h2o]

later start than expected... so end time not as prompt as originally planned. She sounds about how you'd expect:-(

[baby_elvis]

I can only imagine how she's feeling.

[fe2h2o]

Full of much praise for Karen:-) and she's thinking of trying for a nap. (Her mobile doesn't have much battery).

[baby_elvis]

Karen is a goddess amongst doctors.

I just found out - praying for a good result and sending loving and healing thoughts to B & M...

He's just out of theatre now.
