Since Simon is still sleeping off the effects of the anaesthetic, I am writing to keep you posted on his progress. I am Anne James, Simon’s mother.

He went into hospital at 10.30 yesterday and apparently the surgery started at about 3pm. We talked to the surgeon at about 8pm and he told us that the surgery went well and that Simon would probably be unconcious for a while. We hope to see him this afternoon ( Thurs) but if he is still not out of the anaesthetic, we will wait.
