So some of the blogs I read are now doing Self-Portrait Tuesdays. So in honor of that, and my first day in the hospital I am posting a self-portrait. Isn't it a startling resemblance. My arm band broke off as I was adjusting it, so I decided it was a good SPT. Then they brought me a new one.
Took me an hour to get a room. For me that is long, they usually have my room ready. I guess it was actually ready because I got my usual Penthouse suite here at the hospital. They always take good care of me. Even though I have the bar code on my wrist that they scan when they give me drugs and such, when I am in here I never feel like just another number. Coming for the last 12 years makes a difference. All the nurses and respiratory therapists that I have worked with for so long are now supervisors and such. So I get pretty much anything I want. And the new people learn from them and keep it going.
Day one is always the worst, waiting for a room, waiting for food, waiting to see the doctor (so that you can get medicine started), waiting for RT to come and get the treatments started. Oh and the most important, waiting to feel better. It is the day I call the "waiting day".
JG is trying to sleep peacefully in her fold out bed. But of course never gets much sleep here. Love her for staying with me though. It is nice to know she is here. I just wish she could get more sleep.
So the waiting day is over, except the feel better part. I brought my new Rebel XTi with me, so I will do some photos for the blog as I go along, hopefully something cool.
