trip to birmingham

we went to see the surgeon today, he was really nice, we went in he shook our hands( how then big hands do such a delicate operation i will never know!) he put our minds at rest loads, his words were "OH I LIKE THIS KIND, NICE AND SIMPLE" i'm glad he thinkd so, but cause jack has had a transplant before, he already has the plumbing(!!!!!) for the next one. we just want a date now, we were hoping for june he said(but as you can see we are in june now and we are still waiting) it was good to see where it will all go ahead, me and jacks mum will be staying in hospital accomodation when the transplant goes ahead we have been told its not to bad and reasonably priced! so we will see, it was a doctor that said the price is reasonable, but hey he is probably on alot more money that me so his reasonable might be my expensive! so we will have to wait and see. we also saw jacks transplant co ordinator, as he is on the transplant list so if one comes available before his date for his dads then he will have that one, very unlikely some people wait years although last time he only waited 3 mths. we had to give loads of phone numbers for ll ways and means of getting intouch with us if they need to, down to my bosses number at work and the local police station and reg of the car, if they cant get in touch the police will find us and if it is in the night and we dont hear the phone they will get the local police to come and wake us up! i dont fancy that much! but everything is getting organised i feel a bit of relief seeing the surgeon, he put us at ease for something that will be very major.
