No chemotherapy today since today is a rest day (hurrah)! Still not 100% in the stomach area but the meds are doing a good job of keeping things at bay. I ate some solid food for breakfast but took it easy on the coffee due to its acidity.
I finished my first book (The Apache Wars…) , so on to the next one. I have a list developed but if you have any recommendations I will take a look. The only constraint is that they are available in Kindle format.
The occupational therapist stopped by with some theraband exercise sheets. She seemed pleased that I completed the puzzle sheets she gave to me last week. Gold star for me.
A couple of questions have been asked about visiting. For the most part I can receive visitors, unless of course the medical staff is checking it on me which usually does not take too long. To find details on the MSK visitors policy please check here . The important thing for visitors is that your are healthy. And, even so, you will need to wear a mask and gloves due to my lack of immunity. The general plan for me is for a 4-6 week hospital stay (rm M718), then I will move to a hospital-sponsored apartment about 8 blocks away for an additional two months or so. They want you close in case you fever and need to treat you immediately.
Tomorrow is the big day – my new birthday (which is scheduled for 5:00 PM EST).
