Today makes Four or a Week

Even though today is only the fourth day in the intense chemo regimen I'm on, it makes a full seven days that I've spent at Emory University Hospital. Already I'm getting antsy and fidgety. I still have at least another three weeks here and I'm not really sure how I'm going to fill my time. This blog has proved to be very helpful indeed. Yesterday I was kind of in a funk and that funk hasn't really lifted yet. Today I had several visitors. Liz, Ashley, Tim, and Bo were all here checking out the invalid making sure that I hadn't jumped ship yet. Also, I had a very pleasant surprise when an old high school buddy, George. It is nice to have visitors but at about 4 pm and everyone had cleared out (with the exception of Bo) I passed out. I couldn't believe how tired I was. It was so nice just to sleep for an entire hour without interruption. See, I don't think most people realize how hard it is to actually sleep in a hospital. Between being hooked up to fluids that make you pee every 15 mins., getting your vitals checked, and having doctors and nurses looking down your ears, nose, and throat it is impossible to rest. Well, I'm really tired. So I think that will be all for tonight.
