Successful Operation

Keith had an operation yesterday evening to clean out his infected hip, and replace the ball with a temporary one called a spacer. This spacer is loaded with antibiotics. When they are certain the infection is clear, they will operate again and put in a permanent hip. 

The anaesthetist called me last night because “Keith needs a familiar face”.

While I was there, apart from needing medication for an irregular heart beat (not unusual for him), he was pretty normal for someone coming out of anaesthetic.
