Just another update

I kind of lose track of time here in my sanctum. I guess today is Friday. I went in for another spinal tap and even got to request the flavor of my anesthetic, I chose strawberry in case you are wondering. That went well and I came back up to my sanctum for some lunch. (yes I can still manage to eat small amounts of food) wooo hoo! I also had more visitors today, and some of them were kind enough to wheel me down to the giftshop. I looked pretty funny going through the halls with my little mask, sexy hospital gown, and my constant companion (my iv pole). But the giftshop was fun, i found a magazine and got caught up in the bachelorette so i would say today was pretty successful. (also, the cancer count in my spinal fluid went from 300 to 30 from the day I was admitted to today)!!! So all in all, today was a pretty good day. I love and miss you all, I wish i could be down in st. George for jamie's wedding. I know it will be great, I would really appreciate it if you would save me some frappé. :)

  4. Rachel. You have to have to have to name your IV pole. It's just a must. Definitely want to come see you next time I'm up there, if I can. :) Congrats on the sweet cancer count!
