Maxine

I was waiting all day at work to hear how my sister's operation had gone today. Maxine went into hospital last night as she was due to have a hysterectomy this morning, though it wasn't confirmed what time she would be having the operation. I waited and waited all day for news but didn't get any. In the end I resigned myself to thinking that she had had her operation cancelled or something, but when I got home I chatted to my niece, Mikala, on Facebook and found out that she had indeed had the operation and was now recovering but was still under the anaesthetic. She will apparently be in hospital for 5-7 days, but hopefully I will hear tomorrow how she is doing once she wakes a bit more.
She was having the operation as a mostly preventative measure, my other sister having done the same a few years back. Both felt it necessary as my mum had died of ovarian cancer, and had previously also had a hysterectomy. Let's hope that it is wholly successful for both of my sisters in the long run as they have lots of people around them who could not do without them.
