Nurse: Colleen

Well, the night of Day 1 was pretty uneventful. No major side effects. Had a late start (11:30AM) for day 2, which was really nice since I got to go to Teddy’s basketball class. I had a few pointers for him afterwards since he hasn’t really grasped the concept of defense yet. We’ll work on it.

Anyway, Day 2 started pretty well with a better room. Got a window view and an extra table. I’m straight ballin’ in here, if you couldn’t tell from the photo up top. My nurse, Colleen, actually came from NMH and knows Dr. Stein very well. We had a good long chat, and it was nice to have that connection since she knows all the little differences between the two facilities. One difference I’m a bit apprehensive about is not getting Dex everyday here like I did at NMH. I’m sure there are good reasons for both methods, but I figure since Cycle 1 went well for me (no nausea), why fix it if it ain’t broke? So, no Dex today, so we’ll see how tonight goes. I’m all about getting as many prescriptions as possible. If it’s going to prevent misery, GIVE IT TO ME.

Also of note today, my buddy Jayson stopped by with some lunch. It was good to chat for a bit and feel somewhat social.

Back to work and my Newtons.
