| Dr Monkey, Collingwood scarf, bandanna. Ready to go. |
Tuesday last week we were in a Royal Childrens at 7am, and had to wait until 11.30 for Owen's Op. His op was not as simple as the others that went in before him. It is a test of patience and Owen proved that he is made of the right stuff. The Op went for 1 hour. It was a big one in a big theatre and it took 4 hours for Owen to wake up properly. The pain was terrible but we were home by 7pm that night. He has healed nicely since and went off to school today after 4 days off last week from the pain around his new Port. But Owen, as always, never complains about it. He is not happy with the pain, but soldiers on. He is the "Worker". There is a job to be done, so he just gets on with it. We do not need to go back for another month if his health remains good. And a long luxurious bath is awaiting him soon.....

| Power port. The latest tchnology. This is under his skin. It has a plastic front which they push needles into. It hurts when needles go in, but he can swim with it. |
