28/12/09 Day 46. Monday. Day Oncology and the injections.

Owen was booked into Day Oncology for one of his medications today which had to be given by the Nurses. He also had to remain in the Hospital for 4 hours in case of an allergic reaction. I was told that it was a procedure that came as a shock to Lee and Owen. He had 2 injections at the same time. Owen had icepacks applied to his thighs and when he was ready, 2 nurses injected the medication into the muscle, slowly....... He stalled for as long as he could, but the nurses were too experienced. They told him to calm down or his muscles would tense up. He was asked to wiggle his toes to loosen up his muscles then before he knew it, the needles went in with the 2 nurses telling him to stay calm and not move as it would hurt. He let everyone know his unhappiness by screaming the room down and then it was over.
I guess it is my turn in 28 days to accompany our little fighter...
