Day 4 - Cycle 1

I slept in a little longer today, so I might be getting tired but, I still feel fine!!! Everyday in this place brings a new and pleasant surprise. Maybe it is me, but I am enjoying this a little too much. My goal is to keep enjoying it all year long.

So, today I had the pleasure of my Mom's company. She is recovering well from her biopsy last week and happy to know it is benign!!! We were sent to the 8th floor today and actually had the room all to ourselves. After today, I can say the 8th floor is not so bad. It makes a big difference if you have someone next to you throwing up or not. Apparently, Thursdays, they have tea! Look at this cute tea cup. Each cup was different and I was asked to pick the one I liked. They also had pound cake! I don't turn anything down. The icing on this cake was that is was being delivered by one of my best Freshman students!!! Here is a picture of her and her twin brother!!! Aren't they cute. Her mom is standing in the hall behind them. She told me that she got the best Mother's Day gift from her daughter because of what I taught her!! I guess she made her mom a video. I love to hear that stuff.
Before I could finish my tea, I was visited by a Cancer Survivor, Walt. He was very entertaining and 'loving'. He came in singing, talked big and loud, then suddenly became soft and caring. He joked with my nurse Ivette and said he is here every Thursday. I am starting to see a little pattern each month as I get to visit daily. This will keep it fresh and interesting.

When Walt left, I noticed my arm was bleeding, so we had a little more trouble with my IV. Can't wait to get the port!!! Although, Ivette thinks after fixing the IV, we can leave it in for tomorrow. That might be alright. I don't know but I am going to try it. The rest of the time, Mom was crocheting while I wrote my blog and WOW, I am done. It was fast today. Only 2 hours!!! Gotta go!
