I called these pics "before" and "after".

Spot the difference!!!

As you can see today has been taken up with getting iM to hospital by 7.30 a.m. which meant leaving home an hour earlier to travel 9 miles....which meant I had to be up at 6.00 a.m. to make sure iM got there on time! The "after" photo shows a living person who survived surgery and as last seen by me eating shepherd's pie and baked beans to be followed by a minute portion of icecream and a cup of coffee. I have to say it all looked disgusting but as he hasn't eaten anything since last night and is absolutely out of his noodle on

morphine, I suppose anything remotely looking like food will do......He'll be home tomorrow or Saturday depending on all his bits and pieces working properly - don't ask!
