Sid was discharged earlier today.  The operation went well.  The tendon had been nicked and so they had to cut a little more to get to the damage in order to repair it.  He’s in good spirits though, and apart from not being able to walk at the moment and not liking the medicine at all is doing fantastically well.  It doesn’t even bear thinking about how much worse it could have all been.  I have to call the GP on Monday, to arrange to take Sid in on Tuesday for a change of dressing, then the hospital are going to contact us to take him back in order to remove the stitches which will most probably be done on Friday.
