Back In The Hospital

They didn't save my old room, but I am very close. I am in Room 456.  Outside the window the "king and queen" buildings are just a little right of center, but the rest is the same.  It's  as if I never left. But I know I was home since I have dog hair on me. 
I heard today there is one patient who has been here since March. Ouch. See? It could be worse.


I get a giggle out of the staff.  They don't recognize me at first since I am nearly bald. I forget they haven't seen my new haircut.  (I actually forget I HAVE a new haircut.)
Mom and I baked two chocolate cakes for the staff. One for day shift and one for night shift. It went over very well so far.


I had a dressing change, chest X-ray, and started a 2 hr drip of chemo at 4 pm.  Now continuous drip for 12 hrs.  So far, so good! No adverse reactions. Paws crossed!

They are testing to my glucose. Crap. Had I known there was going to be a test I would have chosen a healthier dinner. But the pizza and brownies were darn tasty!  (Was 206 tonight instead of a normal 96)


I expect to go home on day 4. We will see. It depends on when the chemo passes through my system.

This was me yesterday. Note Annie in the #1 spot, not hiding on the floor!


And then she stole my spot.  Good girl! 
(Not spoiled at all!)
