Through the undergrowth

It’s been a bit of a day. My brother had a serious operation on Friday - an aortic aneurysm right by his heart and a damaged heart valve repair. All was going well after the operation  until his heart kept missing several beats at a time. He now needs a pacemaker fitted ASAP but has got an infection so that has slowed things down. He’s up in Liverpool - over 5 hours from us in critical care. He told us not to visit but at least I’ve spoken to him.
Out for lunch at the Wishing Well to try to calm the brain.
