Back in the hospital for Round 2

Steve Accessing the Port

Finally made it back for Consolidation Chemotherapy.  Not that it's something to look forward to, but it is a necessary step that must be done to progress toward being cured. 

Heidi is now in room 3724.  Phone number 520-694-3170.  We're expecting this to be her new home for the next 6 days, barring any water leaks or room refurbishment changes.



The gang's all here again:  Kristy, Heidi and Lorelei (whom
we almost did not recognize with her clothes on)



We were told yesterday she would be checking in this morning.  So I stayed home from work and telecommuted while I could.  They're short of rooms at 3NW because one wing is being refurbished.  So it took some patient juggling to clear a room for Heidi.  Finally about 2:30 they told us they were ready. 



Checking In Outfit



Besides killing a day of work for me, we wanted very much to get started on chemo treatment today.  The sooner she starts, the sooner it ends and the sooner she can check out.  We pleaded with the doc to time this visit so that she would be out and healthy enough to drive to Costa Mesa for Thanksgiving. 



Fortunately we did arrive soon enough to get it started tonight.  Actually, as of 6:30pm they have not yet started.  But the drugs were ordered and should be here soon.  As I told Lorelei, any bartender that takes this long to mix a cocktail does not get a tip from me.
