Day one

Today we checked into the new room at the hospital, room #802 if you haven't guessed.  Got here at about 10:00 and hung out, filled out a lot of paperwork for financial help and starting the regimen.  What I'm looking at is a month of heavy chemo, then they'll be searching for someone to donate bone marrow for a transplant.

As soon as I finished paperwork, I had a spectrum of blood draws and then went down to have an MRI, get a line put in again, (isn't it crazy that the young guy that wheeled me around most of the time for my lumbar punctures (spinal taps) 7 years ago is actually the PA who did my new line), and chest x-rays.  I ate breakfast at about 7am, and didn't eat again, 'til 7pm, was excited when food arrived, then the CNA comes in and tells me I have to have my blood sugar tested.  I'm like, I can tell you now honey, that its low. ;)
