Day -7

Me and mom in the new room.

So today is the first day of my hospital stay! I am just barely getting settled in, but really it didn't take me long to unpack since I didn't have too much stuff. The room has 1 window facing the east mountains, towards the U of U, and a small bathroom. There's a TV and DVD player too to keep me occupied as well. Right now they've got me on some fluids as they want to keep me hydrated really well for chemo, which they'll bring in later this afternoon I am told. I guess this first chemo drug they are doing today also has a lot of alcohol in it, so it might make me feel pretty weird! The nurse yesterday said some people like the feeling at first but then they get hangover like symptoms after! So that'll be an interesting experience for me since I've never drank! Kinda funny, as my mom said, to be admitted to the hospital when I'm feeling so good! I'm sure that'll quickly change though.

Bloggin' it up.

EDIT:
They moved me into a different room just now. This one has a better filtration system or something, newer I guess. And there's a nice big comfy recliner next to my bed for visitors.

Speaking of visitors, my room is east 848. Just make sure you wash your hands before you come in or I might get angry!! Oh, just kidding!
