Day 5: The Gr8 Escape (or not)

I woke up at 8am and Dad was out getting breakfast so I helped myself to telly and got ready for my day of drugs, jabs and ....drugs!

Dad came back and I got set up with platelets and blood in preparation for my Lumbar Puncture and general anaesthetic.

Nothing much to report before lunch except being knocked out and a massive needle shoved into my spine.
Doctors put in some chemo while they were in there to help tackle any Leukaemic cells lurking in there.

When I came round I was wheeled into my room and I saw Dad, he had had a shower, which was nice because he was starting to smell bad.
I told him I was starving so he whipped me off to Burger King!

We were part way through our lunch when a doctor came over and informed us that we were not meant to be dragging a big bag of blood around the hospital.
She was followed by Jenny my Nurse and boy was she ticked off with my Dad for taking me off the ward!!!

I had been tring to watch a film with dad all morning and with all the interuptions it took about 5hrs!

Just as the film finished my Physio turned up, she was quite pretty so concentrating on what she was saying was a little hard.

My play therapist turned up and traded my xbox for a ps3 and gave me a couple of games which was cool, so I thrashed Dad for an hour or so.

Dad was a bit tired so he went to the vending machine down the hall for a caffeine hit, except he hit it a bit too hard and would not shut up!

Doctors came this morning and checked my spleen, it had moved a lot and even the doctors were shocked, thank you Joey and Jeremy.

(I forgot to mention that I have to pee lots because of all the fluids I am on, and the first time I had to use a collection pot I was so conscious of keeping myself covered up that I crammed my undercarriage down the neck of the pot and got myself a bit stuck.)

(A note to any other boys who go through this, try and think unplessant thoughts when female doctors are examining your back wheels or you may suffer an unfortunate mishap like I did the other day.)

Right at the end of the day Ann, Rod and Matthew from TLC came to visit me, they brought loads of chocolate which is cool as Dad seems to like force feeding me loads of it.

Dad and I are watching Land of The Lost and then it is off to bed.
