Catching a Cold

Less than one minute read time.

Well, my desens nurse had a cold while I was getting chemo and being desensed.  She wore a mask intermittantly, coughed and sneezed away from everyone and into her sleeve;  told me how handwashing is very important in the spread of colds, etc.  And guess what?  Can you guess?  Yep...I have a cold...five days out of chemo and nearing my nadir...hope my poor old body can shake it before the coming of nadir!  And this I can assure you...No one who has a cold will ever take care of me again.  And don't you.  I was soft, easy and allowed her to care for me when she shouldn't have.  What dopes...both of us.
