I am pleased to hear it's all done and Tom is home again! The word "operation" means the same to me too so I can understand you must have been worried!

Ah, the green cross 'ozzy - you have mucho sympathy from me,mate.

Early afternoon one New Years day in the early nineties - sweating rather profusely, bent double with pain ( at least for 12 hours) and verging on conking out, I staggered into there.

Several hours later, after many holiday insurance paid for tests and unbelievable abysmal and indifferent treatment by most of the staff - Mrs M and I were sent on our way with a recipe for lemonade.

Midnight the next day I had a burst and gangerous appendix removed in an emergency operation in a hospital in Peurto De La Cruz.

All say - awwwwwww, poor,poor Melders.

Best wishes to Tom from me.

Pleased the "operation" was only to set the arm.

Awwh Karl, I have been a bit slow on the posts lately, poor little Tom and what a terrible time for you and Clare, at least you have him home safe and sound with you so he can be looked after well, poor little love.

I think I may have mentioned on here before when I broke two ribs three years ago we were appalled at the initial treatment of the green hospital I was left for hours the same as your little Tom, without any painkillers etc, badly treated and man handled badly by the X ray staff and then all of a sudden when they knew I had insurance, they could not do any more for me, offering to keep me in for the night which I refused.

Big cuddles to Tom and hope he is feeling better.

Although from what I have heard the treatment in the UK is very similar.

Try and have a good weekend, at least he is in your care now xx

..sounds like he had to have the bones "manipulated" back into place, they usually do it under anaesthetic.my eldest son broke his elbow when he was 6 and had to have the same thing done....hopefully tom will be well on the way to a full recovery...

I spoke to karlb this morning and Tom is home and slept well last night. They're keeping him at home next week while the cast is on, karlb is in for a wonderful week! He passes his thanks to all who've enquired about Tom.

How's Thomas feeling today? Have you drawn some nice pictures on the plaster?

I will make this day a happy one for I alone can determine what kind of day it will be.

A little late in posting but glad to hear that Tom is OK. I've heard a Wii, playstation or XBox is good physio, I assume he has both if not the parents should provide them as a means to quicker recovery

P.S. Don't PM me Karl.....only joking
