Day 4

I just got up and took care of the morning rituals. Today and the next two days are the days when the rubber meets the road in this first set of treatments. First thing that will happen this morning is they'll take my vital signs and the vampires will get a complete blood count through blood extracted from my PICC line, a device attached to a vein in my arm. They'll monitor my platelet counts and give me blood, O+ if I need it. Were any of you contacted for blood for me? Hackensack is fairly empty because of Christmas. We had the cancer care center and the nurses pretty much to ourselves yesterday. Today we'll move out to the waiting room on the 4th floor of the medical plaza building and watch some football if they'll let us do that. God has been good to us in this process, thank you.
