G, do you think he might have been cold? I've had a **** few nights sleep because it's been so cold here too. We've apparently got snow forecasted for tomorrow too and I reckon the people at the BOM have been smoking crack LOL.

LOL H, I remember those winter BFing days well with P. I had a little blower heater set up near my chair to keep me warm at night.

Arte, we didn't get a new-new mattress yet but got one from the spare bed and MIL's house.

Well after seemingly being OK after his OP, the past few days has seen DH in loads of pain in the left calf and he's hardly been able to walk and after a terrible night in pain last night I said enough is enough and you have to call the Dr in the morning. So he did and we had to go all the way back to Wagga for an emergency ultrasound this afternoon as the Dr thought it was DVT and sure enough he has a blood clot in his leg. Luckily it is only in a vein and not the artery and it's only a partial blockage. So now he has to have Clexane injections twice a day for the next 10 days which is traumatic for both of us as he is terribly needle-phobic and I have to give them to him while he is saying 'AHHHHHHHHH'. But the difference in car between private and public is amazing. After the ultrasound was done, the sonographer rang his surgeon herself to say what the results were and even though his Dr was in surgery at the time, he said send him around to wait outside the theatre (the radiology place is at the private hospital) and he'd see him once he'd finished operating and DH went round there, was met by someone who addressed him by name and why he was there and directed where to wait and his Dr phoned him on his mobile, talked over the results with him, conferred with the other surgeons in the theatre as to the appropriate treatment (DH could hear them in the background) and then once he'd finished he came out to give DH the script he'd written! No way known would that have happened in the public system!

So we're hoping it works really quickly and he's back to himself because he is really struggling with being laid up like this.
