Today was a very interesting day. It actually started last night when I requested this little medication called Ambien to help me sleep. After waking a few times to get my vitals taken, I fell into a deep deep Ambien nightmare. In this nightmare I was a child trapped inside the upstairs of a very tiny room in a home, but managed to finally break free of this by falling down the stairs and being unable to move in my bed. I then woke to the ill feelings and felt terribly alone, as mary was not there yet. Just when I finished kissing the porcelin throne, (actually a plastic bucket), Mary entered to rub my back and make some tea. It was a rough day because the nurses were overworked and unable to attend to my every request. But getting an anti-nausea drug 1 hour late is WAAAAY too late. It was almost too much to bear, because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to leave the hospital today. BUT, I felt better in a short bit, and they released me in the afternoon after I ate my way through popsicles, crackers, and tea. Now, I'm feeling pretty good, and very grateful the chemo part is over. AND I got to see Alden for the first time in almost 5 days, who I had missed so much. From now on, we will go to the clinic each morning to check my blood and give any needed medications.

Now the hard part begins for mary, as I no longer have all those nurses and will be ringing my little bell frequently. Oop, that's actually me, Mary writing, although Blake is denying this. Well, hope everyone has a good Monday tomorrow and has had a nice weekend.
