Good Afternoon Reader’s!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I am finally settled into my room here at Emory Midtown Hospital. The day started out well. Once I signed in at the doctor’s office this morning at 9am, they called me back to access my port and take blood samples. Then I was called back to meet with Dr. Reed ahead of my 10am appointment. Woot! Woot! The appointment went well and he was very happy with how I am doing and feeling.
Then we went to admissions and our train slammed to a halt. Turns out the seventh floor was booked. There was no available room for me. Pickles. They sent me to a temporary bed on the first floor. The woman in the next bed was not having a good day. There was loud moaning and groaning and she threw up once. Doctors kept coming in and asking me if I was Miss Smith. No, thank goodness. Miss Smith was not having a good day.
They were able to start my fluids around 1:30pm. This made me happy. I really did not want my chemo to start late and push everything back. God knows I don’t want to stay here any longer then I need too.
I finally got into my room around 3pm. Guess who was there? Theo! He had my white board all ready written out with my chemo orders. My room has a flat screen TV!!! Theo said that they are slowly replacing the TV’s and that I got one of the two rooms that have them. Sweet! My first round of chemo should start around 6pm. Like before, I won’t be able to take any pictures and post them while here in the hospital. However I will when I get back home.
Tomorrow is Friday, my favorite day of the week. Make sure you enjoy it!
I hated leaving you in the small room but needed to get Mr.Mr. Papa picked him up. Kathryn was very kind to bring dinner, Aidan ate really well which meant a Klondike bar. Timber had two sessions of ball throwing, misses you but seems to understand why we are here. Talk to you tomorrow, keep marching. Love you lots, Momee
Sending positive thoughts your way.
Glad you got settled in..and having Theo has to make it lots better..thinking about you and hoping this round goes smooth and fast.
Thanks for sharing your husband with me tonight. Was good to catch up with him and glad that we were able to get him some ‘fluids’ while you were getting yours.
Keep fighting the fight. Sending positive thoughts your way…
