I've just spoken to Aunty O. She's awake and alert and very happy. She's in no pain whatsoever as she has a morphine epidural so she can't really feel much from the waist down. I think that the doctors have already started to reduce her painkiller dosage as she is feeling a little bit itchy. Nevertheless she is in very good spirits and she sends her love to you all.
Obviously there is no word yet on when she will be coming out of hostiple, but as soon as *she* knows, *we* will know.
I will be speaking to her again tomorrow, so if you have any messages for her, please let me know and I'll pass them on.
