So it’s janu 24 2018 around 11:20pm. I’m laying in the hospital bed at Rush hospital in Chicago. I had a busy day and thought this would be a great way to write everything down.
I arrived around 9am and got brought to my very nice large room. My bed is super comfortable and there is a open couch in here for visitors who wanna spend the night, a lovely lounging chair that is near the window that looks out to the whole entire down town. It’s absolutely beautiful! I wasn’t expecting this and I’m happy so far my first day went well.
My nurse Melissa gave me a tons of ant sick meds and hooked me up for my first chemo around 1:30pm that ran for 30 mins and I was done I’m still hooked up to fluids tho. But after that me and my mom hung out we watched tv got some food and I got to take a nice shower and put on my own pjs! Now I’m relaxing writing you guys and watching some of old tv shows!
I let my mom go home today since I felt ok and I rather her be home today with my daughter making life as normal as possible and to get her ready for school. I know tomorrow is another day filled with chemo and meds again I hope I have an ok day like I did today.
