It is Thursday and after today I have one more day here with one more bag of Chemo. Sad that I am measuring my day and time with how many bags of chemo I have left. But I guess it is just part of the beast. The count down from the day you start till the day it is over. I do feel very fortunate that my treatment is only 5 weeks. So many that have come before me have had to endure so much more.
There is a beautiful view out my window and I am looking forward to a visitor this afternoon. These are the things I dwell on, not the smells and sounds coming from a hospital room. Since I am basically tethered to the IV machine I basically have a very small world.
Amy (Keith's girlfriend) came after lunch bearing gifts. Besides the great company she brought a bouquet of strawberries covered in chocolate. Since my appetite is doing just fine for the most part, I am excited for this treat. She also has great news. She was accepted to the nursing program and will start at the first of the year. Yeah for Amy. She has been working towards this for a long time and will no doubt make an excellent nurse.
Ross also makes his daily visit. I ordered several extra items for dinner so we could share a meal together. Even though it is hospital food (and actually pretty good) I pretend we are just having a picnic on the boat. Much more fun.
I did get in some reading from Eat Pray Love. It is an easy read and I am enjoying her journey.
