It's day 4 of chemo and Jeff is getting it done! It's tough stuff but nothing unexpected. His blood counts are low and it looks like he might have to have a blood transfusion tomorrow. We'll wait and see. We had a nurse last night that isn't our favorite. She likes to turn on ALL the lights in the middle of the night and talk loudly. Grrrr! We realize that hospitals aren't a place to rest but we have become quite spoiled by some of the other nurses and now we're ruined. We have had one of our favorite nurses the last two days. What a blessing! Jeff's nurse on Tuesday brought him a warm donut and cold milk after he didn't like his regular breakfast. Now that's a great nurse! It's an especially big letdown for both of us when we get home and have to care for ourselves. We regularly try to convince nurses to come home with us. So far no luck. Jeff has one nurse that takes his vital signs and they often bet on his blood pressure and pulse. Their standing bet is a thirty pack of beer. Oh my! Jeff is charming them all!
Chemo will be over tomorrow and we hope to go home Saturday. I'm praying time passes quickly. Jeff's current curse word this time is worse than dirty rotten whore. I hope we are discharged before they kick us out. I just try and keep the door shut.
Peace and love,
Jeff and Leta
