chest x-ray looks great

The x-ray dept. asked that Ronan go downstairs instead of them coming upstairs to do the x-ray this afternoon. Ronan agreed to try...with a little help from his PCA - patient controlled analgesia pump (ie. morphine) and his entourage (Nurses Sarah, Alison, Elise and Joe and me) we made it downstairs and back in 1hr. He sat up straight for his x-ray and was a star. The x-ray looks great, and with any luck the chest tube will be removed tomorrow and 24 hrs after that we can get out of here!
