It was a long , dreadful drive to Buffalo tonight . The Peace Bridge was closed for some reason and we had to go over the border at he Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. As it was dark, we had a lovely view of the American Falls all lit up which was a bonus . We also stopped for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe but all we could think of was our comfortable beds at the Doubletree . We finally staggered into the hotel very late and very tired .We feel so much beter knowing that Andrew is recovering from his surgery. We talked to him on the phone on the way down to Buffalo. He sounded very tired and a bit drugged from the pain killers but relieved to be able to put the whole awful episode behind him. He asked Hilary to get him some magazines to read and a toothbrush which we see as a great sign that he is on the mend ! I also found out today that Andrew has'nt been 100% well in he past month but he did'nt want us to know in case we were worried. He had a very painful cyst on his back which was slow to heal ....... it makes me think that he was gettng run down and tired ....I wish I had known.
It's very hard thinking about Andrew in a hospital so far away as our first instinct is to see him imediately. This is very hard on mum as she realizes that she is not well enough to travel and has to focus on her own health . We will be relieved when andrew is finally back at home in Vancouver . When I think about what might have happened I feel a horrible anxiety and vulnerability.
He will see the surgeon tomorrow and we will have more information about the operation and his recovery.
