Mummy had to go into hospital to have her old portacath removed and a new one put in. The old one was down to my ribs on my right side. It had been in over 14 years and when I was pregnant with you, you would kick towards it all the time and it kind of dislodged it and it stopped working.
Anyway, I had to go in for a few days and leave you at home. Daddy had booked the week off work to look after but he ended up going out the whole time and leaving you with nanny!
I should have stayed in for over a week but I couldn't be away from you for that long! Uncle rich took us up by car and dropped us off. We waited around for hours for my room to be ready. You loved playing on my bed or in the cupboard.
Daddy come that evening to pick you and nanny up and take you home. It was horrible saying goodbye and knowing I wouldn't see you for a few days.
We skyped most of the day just so you could see me. Fri was my operation and I was the 3rd in the list. You, daddy and nanny all came up in fri morning and got there before I went down for my op. I was down there for 5 hours. When I came back you was sound asleep!
I was super thirsty as I had had no fluids and I was very hungry!
Nanny went and got my dinner from the staff on the ward and I pigged right out!
Most people who have the operation tend to need a strong pain killer to help them as they're in so much agony. Your mummy however only lived on paracetamol for the pain. I was determined to be strong and get home to you.
I finally come home Sunday, the hospital told me I was not to lift anything up for a few weeks as I was so tender. The minute I got home I ran up the stairs to get a cuddle with you! I had missed you so much.
Daddy went back to work the next day so I never got any help with you and I was lifting you when I shouldn't have been. Nanny helped as much as she could but when daddy got home he still wouldn't help me.
You was brilliant with my scars and bandages. You kept asking me if I was ok and pointed to all of my baddies. Clever girl.
Love Mum ❤️
This is where they drew on me to mark where I needed my new port put in.
