I had a great day today. Felt good. I was able to do some paper work for the hospital today. I set up a little desk area and it was good to do something productive. I left the room today.... sounds strange... but when you don't remember where you are and there are people you don't know, it can get a little overwhelming. I was able to exercise a choice today around when I wanted to have the procedure. They wanted to do it around lunch but I wanted to each lunch, do my paperwork, etc, and then relax the rest of the night. It felt good to make some kind of decision.
Michelle, the wonderful ED of the company I work for, came by. We had a great visit. She brought some hats that someone had made. They are so awesome. I am a hat person. If you are not a hat person, you can become one.... just feel that you look good in a hat and you will. It's works, just like when I told myself I was not ticklish anymore. Michelle ensured me that my people are being taken care of and that they know I love them.
**Medical** I had the lumbar puncture today. It was not that bad. They numb the area, take some spinal fluid out, and put some chemo in. The worse part is staying so still for a long time. They didn't get it the first time and had to do it again. It must be me, the same thing happened when I had the epidural for Evalyn's birth. It is so amazing what they can do here. Then I had to lay flat on my back for an hour. They also made me drink a coke.... not sure if you have ever tried to drink laying down... but it was interesting. I almost turned on the TV because I was staring straight up at it, but I decided to call some people instead. It was great to talk to some of my friends and family and hear the relief in their voice that I'm ok. Now my back is hurting some.
I'm thinking about watching a Leave it to Beaver or a Marilyn monroe movie on Netflix. If you don't have netflix, you are missing out! No, they are not paying me. I should get paid for advertising for temperpedic mattresses, burts bees insect stray, a lot of baby gadgets, and well, I guess this wonderful hospital.
I love you all!
