Today was a normal day in my routine for being in the hospital and receiving this treatment. The nurses have been great. The food is good. I think I am eating way too much but when you can choose anything from a menu, they deliver it and I don't have to cook or clean up.... why not take advantage of the room service. Ross is worried we may receive this huge bill at the end of this saying the insurance won't pay for all the food. Eeck!!!!
I had two visitors. It is always good to have them as long as you feel up to it. Amy stopped by before lunch. She was having lunch with a hair dressers client's daughter from the shop she works in. She was picking her up from a school that is very close to the hospital and taking her out to lunch to Chick-fil-A . This by the way was the the little girls idea. She was so excited to have this time with Amy. Amy is a kid magnet and a great gal.
Then before dinner, an old good friend (she is younger than me) stopped by and we had a great time catching up and making fun of things and people. She came bearing gifts. A candle and some spray. Green tea and ginger that is for calming. All the nurses are so impressed with the great smells in my room. I am so glad that I am known for that then something else. Even the cleaning lady was wondering what I was spraying in here. I suggested to her she should carry some with her when she cleans the room. I would!!!! It was so great to catch up with Kathy and make plans and discuss the camping trip that is planned in March. We had such a great time last year and can't wait to do a repeat and spend even more time at Blue Springs.
Ross decided to pass coming by. He had a hard day and said he was pretty dirty. The dirty part was the selling point. Since I had had two visitors already, I enjoyed my quiet dinner and watched the great view from my room. I also had some reading to do. I had started reading Eat, Pray. Love when my treatment began and I had asked others to read it along with me. Ross' Mom took me up on it (she was one of many) and I heard she had finished it. Since she was coming for a visit tomorrow and was eager to discuss it, I had my home work for the night. Luckily I had some available time throughout the night and I did finish it. Enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to seeing the movie.
Throughout this I have been so impressed by the concern, prayers and out poor of love from friends, family and acquaintances. They have been so generous with their time and thoughts. Paying it forward is going to keep me quite busy.
