Today was Bells pre-assessment for her operation

Went to hospital for Bells pre-op today. Was pleasantly surprised by the information I gained. Mr Price initially had told us that Bell would be on crutches for up to 8 -10 weeks after the operation to remove her pins and plates, with a stay or 5-7 days in hospital.

Now Mr Price does have the habit of changing the info he gives us and true to form, he told me that she should be out within 2 3 days after her op and will only need crutches in the first instance for comfort. What fab news!!!!

The only down side was Bell getting upset about the needles again, but she will be having gas first, so is relieved. :)

The op will be on 13th July x

date set for Operation to remove pins and plates

We have had a date through to have the plates and pins removed from Bells leg. The date being July 13th - her dads and grampas birthdays! It's a little over a year since having the operation. I don't know where the time has gone.

I decided to take the children on holiday, before she has it done (like last year) as she will be on crutches for 10 weeks and have a risk of fractures for approx. 4 months, as there will be holes in the bones. We went to Majorca about 2 weeks ago - Can Picafort Holiday Village Viva. Had a FANTASTIC time.

The kids made some great friends and so did I.

Waiting now for the pre-op on 26th June ready for the 13th July. Bell will be in for about 5-7 days.
