Thanks everyone for your support.
Appt went well today - all my questions answered.
Surgery only takes an hour... the intern who interviewed me (best way to describe it really) pulled a funny face when I mentioned surgeon's glue! She'd never heard of it and said 'it's not used here'. So splints it is... for 3-4 days, they reckon. For most of that time he'll be pretty sedated or drowsy so hopefully it won't be a huge issue.
Had a tour of the ward - looks lovely. I have hope that DH will be looked after as he's staying in with Liam during his hossy visit. I have to go back to work on Wednesday but have the following week off for when he comes home.
One of us will get to hold him while they put him to sleep in theatre.. we haven't decided who yet. But I'm glad we've got the option.
He has to fast from 6am, so we'll get him up at 5am and feed him - at the hospital by 11am so we're kinda hoping that will distract him from being hungry... Apparently the surgery only takes an hour so it should be all over by evening.
I'm feeling a bit better now. Only nerves left to kick in over the weekend!
