Maffi's Op

Maffi finally had the operation to sort out his torn retina today. He arrived at the hospital at 10:30, but wasn't wheeled down to surgery until gone 4pm, so they have kept him in overnight. Poor chap has to lie on his front for 24hours and then on his side for 2 weeks. I can't quite believe that Maffi will be able to sit still for 2 weeks, let alone lie still! The operation went very well (apparently), and in true pirate form he has an eye patch.

When he came back from the theatre he was rather dozy... getting Maffi to lie on his front facing down with his head in a specially designed to be uncomfortable face cushion thing to aid it would have been hard enough, but getting Maffi to do this while still asleep was.. hmm... it would be cruel of me to say 'amusing' wouldn't it!

So, Maffi is snoozing and will hopefully be feeling much better tomorrow. I think the eye was a bit more painful than he had expected. All there is left now is for him to recover, take it easy and in time it will be clear whether the operation worked. I hope so.
