Dave was kind enough to drop me off this morning. We were greeted in the airlock by Stephan, the cleaner, who has a giant, fun personality. From there it just got better. Well... Bringing a batch of Gooey Butter Cookies didn't hurt... Rock Star!
I got a microtel small room, no couch. Weird. Good thing Kent wasn't thinking of staying over.
Today I checked in, got settled and waited for the barrage of guests. There are so many different things that need to be done: paperwork, blood draw for labs, weigh in + vitals, etc. I will need 2 units of blood. At 1pm, I got a ride to Radiology and had a chest X-ray. I got a potassium bag and steroid injection. Then 4 pm or so got the chemotherapy of methotrexate bolus. At 6:45 pm I got a 24hr drip of the same. In addition, I have been getting a steady drip of fluids.
Ahhh.... Fluids. At home it is up to me to maintain my hydration. It is a full time job to remember to drink. I don't count any other fluids, but my water intake is a minimum of 3 liters. Here I will attempt to drink 2 ltrs, but probably don't need that much. Water makes kidneys happy.
Night one of three. I hope only 3 nights.
Good night, Bug.
Now how do I pin her?
