Wasted Time

Everything is still going very well. The only problem I have is communication breakdown at the hospital. Sometimes it seems like in one hear and out the other. Michel and I wind up spending extra time at the hospital because of delays from the blood bank and other unknown reasons. The nurses tried to expain the slow paper trail but I think its a cover up. We do not have much to do otherwise so its not really a big deal. I think it just feels a bit more comfortable at the apartment than at the hospital. My counts are still going crazy so I am still receiving blood products very often. This means long hours at the hospital. OH JOY! But don't forget, I still have that smile I always talk about!

Day 30 - Goin' to work

Daily appointments have been keeping me busy. It kinda feels like going to work. I usually spend about eight hours a day receiving the necessary fluids and blood products. I'm just glad I'm not in the hospital. The weekend is coming and the nurses are talking about giving me the weekend 'off'. I will still have to infuse my fluids at home though. I can't wait for this to all be over. Everyday is a process. Fatigue has set in. Lately I have been having trouble walking as little as a fifth of a mile. That's alright though. I still have my appetite and a smile.
