Nov. 29th Back at Emory 2nd admission

Hello all,

                 My neighbor Mr. Frank brought me here today! He cooked bear stew a few days ago and it was so good.  It isn't so bad coming back, 5 days compared to 22, ha! I have some business to conduct, you know.  The staff know me and liked that I had on my Goldie Hawn wig and red lips. I kind of missed these people, well we did spend a lot of time together.  I got a great room, which was a surprise because at Admissions they said one room, but when I got up his Mrs. Pat said they gave me a front room. Sweet.  I think one of my favorite nurses hooked me up.

               Once I finally got the room, the lady asked me if I was on the fast track but I didn’t get the memo, I had people in and out for about 2.5 hours. I just wanted to put my belongings away. Maybe next time I could say, “ Can I have 30 min PLEASE. “ I put some pics, cards, and a few Christmas decorations up. My pole is decorated with lights and garland. I have Christmas lights in the room right now, but that have to get them approved by the men that never come when something doesn’t work. I might bribe them with candy or my cousins BBQ.  The light is so nice and calming. I brought a little lamp but not a light bulb for it. I also saw the lady from the family I asked you to pray for… she is doing great with her treatment.

Click…. Click… Click                I’m hooked up now to the pump.  Now vital signs again.

             I will have 5 days of chemo treatment.  I will have IV chemo and 2 LP’s where they put it in my spine.  Oh, and the steroids are IV this time not just pills, holy crap. Who knows what great idea I could come up with on this stuff.  I told them they better give me something, or I may try to run both Emory hospitals from this room. The prayer request that I have with this treatment is that I will not get mouth sores which I’m told is the main that that happens with this round. Mouth sores, ouch.  Also, I would really like to be able to eat all this good food that I brought.

           Off to get an xray due to some pain in my chest…. Don’t worry, if you sneeze they call a code around here.

          Goodness, they won’t leave me alone. Now they want me to pee in something else.  I guess I’m not really on vacation am I?

 I do get room service in the morning.

Click… Click    I hope this helps my rhythm.

My sis came to visit over the weekend and we went on a walk!
