Just Friday

Haven't had much to say lately, although lack of content hasn't kept me from posting in the past. We're just plugging along.

It was a ChemoFriday in the Blue Recliner. We were there 7.5 hours for chemo, and had to return for a separate late afternoon appointment with an ENT specialist.

It was such a long day in that little room that we were driven to silliness. We went through all of the drawers and found a bunch of boring overly-packaged plastic tubing & junk, along with a junkie's treasure trove of syringes. I messed around with the stick-it-in-yer-ear-type thermometer.

Eric strapped a piece of plastic flesh to his head. It's s'posed to be used to practice giving insulin injections, but Eric decided it functioned well as a forehead rest. It was velcroed to his head with a bright red strap when the nurse came in & found him resting his head face-first on the wall.

Then we blew up one of the vinyl gloves, divided the room by stringing the call button wire from it's wall plug to the blood pressure machine, and played volleyball. Eric had an advantage on accounta his chair was on rollers. Plus, I had an IV.

That was part of the day. The rest of our time there was fidgety and bored. I have a cold... my first cold in years & years... so there was a high blech and sniffle quotient.

The good news? We came home. I just finished bowl of delicious, homemade, beef vegetable soup w/ garlic toast. Days and days of time with my darling Eric spread before me. I'm not going to make you roll your eyes. I'm not going to thank Eric for any transfusions. But... it's close.
