Seen Neurosurgeon, he is such a caring man. A little perturbed here we are 7 days post op & while the spine is fine, nothing has progressed on account of the gut. Hopefully will see the General surgeon tonight & he will take some action. Poor nurse had to tolerate mum and her suggestion of a Bowel lavage, could see her visibly cringe under mums statement she'll be ok we used to do them all the time. I just said, and now you don't. Never mind, they'll come up with a plan xxx
