End of Round 1 of maintenance
On 25 September it was the end of round one of
maintenance and the removal of James Hickman Line! The day started with
getting up around 6am as we needed to be at the hospital at 7.30am for surgery.
We met three different doctors – the anaesthetist, the doctor doing the bone
marrow biopsy, and the doctor removing the Hickman Line. James was second
on the list but didn’t go into surgery until about 11am. When James woke
up after surgery he was feeling really sleepy, so we didn’t leave the hospital
until about 3.30pm. For the next few days James was not feeling very
well, I think in part due to the anaesthetic, he vomited a few times and was
very tired. There are some of the photos from that day in the photograph tab!
