Hi all,
Steve got the port put in place today and all is ready to begin chemo on Monday. We saw the radiation oncologist, Dr Smith, this morning. Just a consult before chemo gets going. We really liked him and will be visiting with him again once chemo is complete.
It was a long wait to get into surgery but it went good. He was just sedated rather than general anesthesia. He was very groggy when he came back and Kelly and I had a few good laughs listening to him chat. Most of you know he is a pretty easy kid to talk with and has a great sense of humor, but with new people he usually needs to get to know them before the good humor shows. Well, when he came back from surgery he was quite chatty. Some examples...
Every time someone came in and asked him how he was doing he would say "I'm doing great, how are you doing?"
He looked down at the bed he was on and said, "oh, I see I'm on a new bed thingy, now I feel bad... that means they had to move me and I'm not what you would call a small guy!"
The nurse was talking with him about a follow-up appt with the surgeon and she walked out to make that appt. She said she would be right back, Steve said... "okay, I'll just stay right here."
He had to take his contacts out and was mumbling about not being able to see anything. A nurse walked by and I mentioned that she looked familiar. He looked out and said..." yeah she does... she looks like every other blurr that walks by."
There were more but these were pretty funny to us. Just thought I would share.
Take care... Vicki
