Well,
It has been a couple of days since I posted. I haven't been feeling all that great. I guess that means the chemo is doing what it is suppose to. I did get admitted into the hospital last night around 9pm. That was after spending 5 hours in "Urgent Care." I am sad to say that there wasn't anything urgent about the care that I received. In speaking with other individuals they said that you should see how other ER's operate and how long you have to wait here in the city. I had Mr. Stein behind me in line (all the rooms where full so our beds were pushed up against the wall waiting to be taken up to a room). Mr. Stein would ask his son Ricky, "...where's your mother?" Then Ricky would go out into the waiting area to sit with his Mom only to have Mr. Stein starting calling for him, "....Ricky, Ricky, Ricky." The sight was something I would only imagine out of a TV show like Grey's Anatomy or ER, except that the people were all moving a lot more slowly...haha. At least now we know, when we have to unexpectedly come to the hospital. Once you get up to the floors the nurses are very good. I've got a guy who's interning and a Mets fan and he is always good to talk to. We were talking about all the baseball stadiums, he was telling me he went to the Mets game yesterday. We had wanted to go if I felt 'OK' but that didn't happen, I watched the game on TV in my bed. He also informed me that the Mets blew their 3-2 lead in the 8th and lost 4-3. I think he is getting to do some things with me because I'm somewhat patient with the nurses. I had a roommate last night, "Nat" I believe short for Natapoly....No not Natty Light. Poor Nat sounded like he was hacking up a lung. This morning they have placed me into an isolation room all by myself just to make sure that I do not contract any infections because my white blood cell counts are so low. I can honestly say I do feel ALOT better today. I got to take a shower and they changed the dressing around the catheter. There has been some drama in the room next to me. From what I understand the woman in the room is demanding she be moved to an individual room. I can't see too much of it but can see that there have been a lot of people going in and out of that room. Well that's all for me right now. Talk to you soon

A Mets fan? Do get to chummy with him and remember that our KC Royals have the only pitcher in the majors that is 5-0 and a 0.50 ERA. My boy Greinke! Hopefully you can go back to the Lodge today so you'll be able to get some sleep. I agree that the worse you feel is actually probably a good thing because that means the Tarantual's you drank last weekend are doing the trick! Ha, ha!!! Talk to you later!
