Disappointment

(by Rob)

On Thursday at 6 p.m. the surgeon arrived to see Esmée. Unfortunately he didn’t have good news. A closer examination of the X-ray image convinced him that one of the attached screws was not placed properly. In the future this might give rise to problems. The surgeon explained that measures had to be taken. An operation was the only option. The next morning at 8 a.m. It will take one hour. And of course there will be some delay in recovery.

Of course the news was hard to deal with. A real disappointment for all of us taking into account the progress of the days before. But after getting used to the news for several hours we felt confident again and are convinced that we would be able to deal with the situation.
