Once the chemo started, I got in the swing of being infused (with the drugs) for five days, puking my guts out, coming home and then having to go back a week later due to some sort of infection (from my suppressed immune system). This happened after each round of chemo. One of my emergency room trips just happened to take place on Thanksgiving and Oh, what I would have done to have just been able to stay home!
Anyhow, Dustin took me into the E.R. and I was feeling shitty and bummed and I shed lots of tears. When, out of the blue, my sister and her (then) boyfriend surprised me with a plate of Thanksgiving goodness, pumpkin pies (to bribe the nurses to bring in said plate of food for me) and their wonderful, loving selves.
How do you cheer up a sick, unhappy bald chick?
Why, you blow sterile gloves up with your nose and pretend to be turkeys, of course.
I love you, Sissy. <3
(New songs added each week.)
Aw, now that is a great family! <3
