Well,
I was pretty tired yesterday and was the reason for no post. I know I'm slacking. It was nice that Friday night Nick Pestritto's roommate checked out so I moved down with him. Again, its nice sharing a room with someone closer to your age and going through exactly what I'm going through. Our treatment is exactly the same except I'm taking a lot of salt tablets to combat the Orthostasis (when my blood pressure drops when I stand up).
The food here which I initially raved about just doesn't have the same appeal. Before coming to to the hospital we picked up two boxes of cereal: Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms. Even the pizza I had for dinner didn't taste quite right.
It was both enjoyable and frustrating yesterday. I got to watch the YankeesMariano Rivera blow a save to the Rays which was pretty sweet. Then I had to watch Brad Lidge blow his 6th save for the Phillies, his second in as many days.
The attached pictures are from the 15th floor observation deck, it was a really nice day. As you can see the Chrysler building in the distance, they also have a no smoking sign, imagine that. They've got a pretty sturdy fence up around the deck as a precaution. It was so nice out there yesterday that I fell asleep on Jamie's shoulder while we were sitting in the shade on the rocker.

It was a hectic night with lots of interruptions: machines beeping, having to take meds, having to get vital signs taken, having to go to the bathroom because all of the fluids which I am receiving. We are a bit tired today but that is to be expected.
Already getting the first bag of chemo today at noon so should be done at a reasonable hour. Everyone have a good day.
