Fun Friday

So today let me put on pants and actually walk off the hospital floor I have been cooped up in all week. My mom and I took our first walk down to the North Pavilion dining area which is also run by Sodexo. I tried to get us an employee discount at checkout but to no avail. 

My mom swears no one was staring, but I would catch people checking out the multiple IV lines coming out of my neck and then looking down at the floor. My mom took a picture of it this morning,  it's not that pretty and I really thought it was going to be a little more discrete but what can you do. 

I could tell how odd I looked when we were walking through one of the market lines and a toddler who was hanging out over his dad's shoulder had been laughing and bouncing around stopped moving and just stared at me. I tried to wave and make cute faces, but he wasn't having it, I walked away and tried not to scar him for life. 

The phoresus people were terrific again. Today's tech was originally from Ohio so had to give me a hard time about my Penn State sweat pants. But then her and mom were able to talk about Michigan and the UP which was fun. The machine decided to putter out half way through the process today, so they had to bring a whole new machine up and restart the process. So took a little longer than usual today. Next treatment is scheduled for tomorrow morning around 9-10am. Jason is going fishing so he can get some fresh air since he's been spending all his time out of work in the hospital with me. And i scheduled my mom for a massage in Homewood for tomorrow afternoon, because these chairs are not comfortable and she needs to get out too. 

My neighbors Abby and Josh came to visit tonight. They brought their world famous (at least Avondale famous) Chicken Tortilla soup. It was fantastic as was the company. Time just kind of passes in here, so it's nice to have visitors. I'm staying positive that I will be out of here in no time and picking up all sorts of new home rest hobbies like knitting, who wants a scarf?
