It has been a good day. I like hanging out with nurses. There is a camaraderie between us. Even when Im in the bed and they are ministering to me. My IV was kind of tricky today. I was dehydrated from yesterday's 24 hours with out food or water. So she had to put the iv in a vein that kind of snaked around my arm. So it was touchy. If I moved my hand wrong it would stop. The alarm on the iv kept going off. We played with the thing all day looking for just the right position. When it came time to main line the super toxic 'red devil' I suggested that they use another vein. I didn't want to risk it infiltrating and causing tissue damage. She got in to the other vein on my other hand pretty easily and the red devil went in without problems. But I couldn't do my usual squirming and wiggling and playing with my toys. So I put my ear buds in and turned on meditation music. I imagined those life saving chemicals moving gently through my body, nudging the cancer cells, telling them its time to go. When the last bag was hung I called Frank to come and get me. Both hand were tied up. But I was able to push the button for Siri and asked her to call Frank. She did! So cool. Add this to the list of things my iPhone does for me.. Call Frank when I can't really dial. Very cool.
Anyway, Im home now. When we got home I decided to take the dogs for a little walk. Frank and I walked to the top of the hill and back. It felt good to stretch my legs.
So far I feel pretty good. Just a bit of a buzz going on.
