Day +15 (Tues). Goodbye Room 224 Kookaburra Ward

Yesterday Lauren was discharged from room 224 on Day +14. A mere two weeks after her T-Cell infusion and ends the hospital stint started in Adelaide (RAH) on 4/1/2016 with the foot infection, before transferring to Royal Children's Melbourne on 18/01/2016. She's still neutropenic so has to avoid crowds and care re hygiene.

Moved into a stand alone unit away from the Ronald McDonald House main complex, for hygiene reasons - own bathroom etc. Except for the most feral woman (she wins the grand final for 'feralness' hands down!!), I've ever heard who decided to use her car park and ours for her small car and then refused to move it when asked.


I thought I knew every swear word up to now. She was able to educate me on new ways to swear!!! She's probably still swearing on the top of her voice 24 hours later. Would be a top candidate for a Sam Newman interview!! Right up his alley. She's not part of Ronald McDonald House, not sure she's even part of this planet, so Ronnie Mac's not at fault. So that's the only exciting thing happening these days. I'll have to tape her, although I think people in Adelaide would hear her from here anyway!! Maybe even Perth!! FFS!!
