The Little Lion - Rory's Story

 We're in, we're out, we're in again! Out In my last post I wrote that we were expecting surgery in June, straight after we'd got back from Disney, but due to admin issues within the Sheffield Waiting List team we'd lost our priority status and dropped to the bottom of the list, therefore were not likely to be seen until August/September, best case. At the time, we had said that we didn't want Rory starting his new pre-school without a leg, because we wanted him to have the confidence to make friends on an equal footing, so to speak, as opposed to have some activities restricted due to being wheelchair bound - after his operation he'll be without a prosthetic for up to three months as we wait for his leg to heal, then be cast, then the prosthetic to be made, then fitted, then tweaked. We told our team at Sheffield that we were happy with anything from October half term onwards. That was the last update I shared, back in August. Fast forwarding...! In In Sept
