DW, FIL and myself went into hospital this morning just before MIL was due to be taken to theatre. They let DW walked down all the way to the theatre with her.
Op. was at 10am and she was back up on the ward at 1:30pm and, touch wood, the operation went well.
DW and FIL have just gone off to visit (visiting is cut to just an hour in the afternoon and an hour in the evening due to MRSA precautions!).
