Nearly eleven years ago my father had hip replacement surgery. Prior to the operation he'd been in a lot of pain and the operation gave him a new lease on life. He went home from hospital feeling good and happy and able to do things he was unable to do prior to surgery.
And then he dropped dead. From deep vein thrombosis. Caused by the surgery he'd just had.
Tomorrow my mother goes in for surgery to remove her bladder. And it is major surgery. A long operation. With risks.
It is hard not to be freaking out right now.
