Well it's 11pm and I'm so ready to go to sleep. Except...they are just now giving me my blood. They just finished my platelet transfusion and I already feel my blood clotting! (not really but it's the idea that counts!) A nurse came in who remembers me and she said I actually look healthier and still have color to me so I'm not as pale as I think I am.
Today has been an overall good day. I had rather good company, starting off early around 10, Kim, a visitor from a local church that has heard all my stories through the wonderful Ray family. She came to visit and say hi and just check on me and it feels good to know people are doing what they do and looking after me.
Then, my doctors finally graced my presence as I was eating and their response was....well looks like someone got their appetite back. lol. No shame here.
The new attending doctor said he doesn't want to release me just yet because he's afraid I'll need more transfusions. So the plan is to get antsy enough and bother him enough to get him to let me go home for a few days....I'll work on this scheme later.
After the normal rounds, I got myself comfortable and fell asleep until about lunch time and had a lunch time visitor, JESSICA, and she brought me baked potato soup (my most recent craving) and it was nice to see her. It was a quick sweet visit but much needed. :)
Then, I put myself into a food coma (again) and passed out until doctors, nurses, techs kept coming through and I woke up to the random neighborhood chase going through the neighborhoods I run at when I run outside....scary. But it was midday and no one was harmed, it was just cool seeing the houses I run by on TV. lol.
Then later, the Ray's came by again to say hi and we talked about the latest hospital happenings and caught up and from there my sister came by to pick up some money so she could get me some skin care regimen stuff going since the Chemotherapy just aggravates my skin, I figured I'd start early and test some products before i actually go through all this again. Then my other friend, Ashley, came by with some dinner (YUMMY) and we sat and talked more. I just love visitors because they keep me in touch with just life outside the hospital because hospital talk can be lame and there is only so many interesting stories I can tell. lol. And I like to live vicariously though people while I'm down for the count.....
My sister stayed for a while but she just left. Now I'm ready for this blood transfusion and this ambien so I can SLEEP tonight. It's cold in my room, just how I like it before i go to sleep. :)
Well tomorrow should be good because I won't be so dang tired from my lack of blood and it's shower day!! it's the little things in life that I get excited over....and that's okay.
I'm off of here, love you all.
xoxo
Kim
