Thank you Terri and Mary Jo - I did feel quite humbled in the company of so many sick people and did strike up a conversation with a few of them. It broke my heart to see so many different people there - one very elderly woman barely holding her head up in a wheel-chair then a very young, fit, pretty woman holding hands with a little 3year old boy - and I prayed for both of them! My own condition is nothing in comparison......and my own impatience is due mostly because I get nervous making my husband wait for me. I'm hoping by having my treatment at 8am next time it'll move along more quickly. I was even tempted to drive myself to treatments because immediately afterwards I felt fine.....but by the time we got home, I was a bit dizzy and tired, so I was happy I didn't drive. Today I'm still very tired with a headache - but a nice nap and some tylenol took care of it.
As for the snippy nurse - I realize you attract more flies with honey so I'm going to bring a box of Dunkin Munchkins with me next time and see if that doesn't help to sweeten her up a bit! (I heard from another nurse that the "snip" loves DD munchkins!) So thanks again ladies for all your kind thoughts and prayers - and mine are coming your way too!
