Port Removal #3

So we rocked up this morning, down on 3B, and received a rather inquisitive look, that was followed by a 'What are you guy's doing here?"

After having been admonished for going to the front admissions desk last time, we were told to go back to the front and they would admit us. We didn't see 3B again. We were up on the Surgical Day Procedure Unit, along with everyone else being admitted that morning it seemed. Fortunately, we were the first to be freed from the waiting area and were looked after by a lovely nurse. It's nice to know that the nursing staff are great throughout PMH and not just in 3B.

After distracting our little man, and him having a snooze, we were in pretty much on time. It was all over in about 40 minutes, and soon we were in the ward recovering. It didn't take long before we were on our way home. So nice to have a quick visit, though we were a little bit upset that we didn't tell them to do the surgery when we were next due in for chemo. Despite the fact that we have an amazing little boy, it can't be nice to have to fast after 5 days of steroids.

But you can't keep a good man down, and he's back in to the swing of things as if nothing ever happened. Amazing.
