My Mum has an op for pancreatic cancer on Weds morning, she'll be out of it for around 24 hours or so.
She's just realised that means she's going to miss the England semi and the language on the phone would have made a sailor blush.
Oh man, I know that feeling.
I had my op on Tuesday, have been.in ever since and watched both England games from a hospital bed.
Best wishes to your Mum, I really do mean that. The care is first class but staff are so overworked it's unbelievable.
