University of Washington

I got the call at about 9:30 this morning that a bed was ready for me at the UW. Tara (sister-in- law) and I were off to Seattle. I checked in to my new room for the next five days: 7308. At least all of the rooms are singles-no roomates. For those interested in the medical specifics....I'm currently sitting with an IV of bicarbonate fluids to turn the PH of my urine, so that the chemo-Methatraxate doesn't destroy my bladder. Next, I'm getting an IV push of Vinchristine. Then, the next four days are Methatrexate and 2 doses of chemo into my spine. Since this is a planned hospital visit I had a lot more time to get all worked up. I hope these 5 days go by fast and I am home in my own bed shortly.
