Well we didn't get out of the hospital without incident. Tomorrow I have to give a subcutaneous injection (just under the skin), last time a friend who is a nurse gave it to Drew for us, and Peter and I had to hold him down. This time I asked the nurses to put an inshurflon (which is a little plastic cannula, in Drew's leg so I could just insert the needle into that, and hoped that would solve the problem - wrong. The nurse innocently mentioned it was a needle and again no talking or coercing could convince him to do it, although he did try on a number of occasions but just couldn't bring himself to do it. After 90 minutes Dr Frank came in to do his rounds and by the time he left Drew had the inshurflon in his leg and we were finally on our way home. He was as happy as larry once he was home and couldn't wait to open his parcel he'd ordered the previous week which was waiting for him, his Titans gear.
