The second day of treatment didn't go nearly as fast as we thought it would. We felt certain that we'd be in & out of the hospital in slightly under an hour but alas, we were there for 2-1/2 hrs. They don't prepare his injections until he arrives & then he's to receive it within 30 minutes of being placed in the chair. I suppose we just need to learn to be patient & realize nothing rarely happens quickly in a hospital environment.
It's sad to see so many people in different stages of cancer awaiting their chemo treatments. The room is always so full with so many obviously very ill & fighting for their life. If they can sit quietly & wait their turn, then we can too.
Ray had a bit of insomnia last night which is unusual for him but we're not sure it was related to the chemo. He is a bit more tired tonight than usual but no nausea! Yeah! So basically, all is well & we are ever so grateful for that. But I think I must be having sympathy pains cause I feel extra tired tonight too. The man still has more energy than me!
Did I mention that after only 2 days, the nurses there already have Ray's number? As soon as he walked in today, one of the nurses smiled & jokingly told the other nurses nearby to keep an eye on him cause he's a trouble maker! Must have had something to do with him ordering that Busch Light beer yesterday when she asked him what he'd like to drink with his meds!
