For the “How are you feeling question?” My mouth still hurts but is feeling better. At least I ate more today. And I am not 100% steady on my feet. But good enough to get around my room and take a seated shower 🙂 I also have some congestion, so my main doctor ordered a chest x-ray. I had a chest x-ray done in my bed in my room since I was moved to the oncology floor. So, I figured that is what they would do again.
BUT! I got to go on a big adventure. I was wheeled to the main hospital building radiology lab! It is a couple of blocks away but connected by a tunnel system. I got wheeled there and back in bed propped up. It was awesome! It may not sound like much to you, but consider I have been in this building and mostly my room and mostly my bed since April 2nd. It was nice to get away from the oncology floor even if only for an hour 🙂
Hi Michael:
I hope you had a decent night. We understand where you’re coming from about getting out of the room for a bit. After my wife started feeling a little better she would take walks around the wards (both 5 South and 5 North. The nurses encouraged this because of blood clots. I would sleep on the couch everynight in her room and I would find her “gone.” She would take strolls around 2:00 a.m. because she couldn’t sleep. We found as I am sure that you have that time has little meaning in the hospital. Night blends into day with people asking for this and drawing that.
I hope you are feeling a little better today. Take care and good luck.

Yahooooooooo. Did you need a passport to go to this other country? You didn’t fall asleep when the engine started?
