I'll keep this post nice and short. :) The last one was superlong, but I did have lots to say! Anyway, tomorrow we head to Seattle (at 7 AM!). I will let you know how it goes, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. We get back really early in the AM Tuesday, but I have a couple appointments in the afternoon. Then my chemo starts on Wednesday! Woohoo! :0) Aunt Bitsy is coming back into town to help us out next week which will be fun, despite the fact that I'm getting chemo.
All is well here. I had a delllllllicious dinner at Sweetwater last night with Laura, Pete and Abe...I can't believe how much I ate...one of those awesome rolls, lobster bisque, sprite, coke, wine, almost the entire 7-oz steak, potatoes AND a flourless chocolate waffle!!! Kinda makes you sick to think of eating all that, doesn't it?! It was a lot of fun though, and I enjoyed the food and the company!
This morning I went to the hospital infusion clinic to get blood, and I got to see two of my very favorite nurses whom I haven't seen since 2006 when I had my last transfusion in the clinic. It was good to be able to chat with them, although I would have much preferred to run into them in the supermarket or any other location! Despite the circumstances, my mom and I were very glad to be able to catch up with them. Receiving blood and chemo can be such a social activity, if you're feeling well and have the energy to talk to the nurses as well as other patients. In that aspect, I'm looking forward to all the new people I'll be meeting over the next several months.
Remember when I said this would be short? It's already a little wordy! OK, I'll finish up real quick. :)
I saw "The Dark Knight" yesterday, and it was all they said it would be. I really enjoyed it, but it's definitely too scary for children...I'll admit I even had to close my eyes during certain parts. The hype about Heath Ledger is true also...it's not just posthumous praise. He did an amazing job as the Joker, and the movie made me sad in that sense because we lost someone with great talent when he died.
The adorabbbble dog you see in the photos belongs to Wallace, and her name is Tink Tink. How cute is she?!! Thanks for coming out to visit, Wallace, and for bringing Tink Tink! She's such a sweetie.
OK, I better pack 'cause I have to get up at 2:30....wow, that's only five hours from now. Try not to miss me too much while I'm gone, and I'll write midweek sometime. G'night!
