Today sees the start of Urban-cubs second phase of treatment. She is back at the hospital this afternoon, and we expect the second operation this evening. This should provide internal stabilisation of the affected part of the back. She's obviously very nervous about the procedure, but hopefully the result will mean that she is as fit and able as Cousteau-cub. Sir Lancinglot has taken a few days off, and is accompanying her for the admission. Silver Vixen followed on a couple of hours later. GF wishes he could be there for moral support, but has work that he must get finished.
