Being Vigilant
Right now Rene is going through the routine steps of her chemo treatment. Her white blood counts increased on Wednesday a bit and that is a positive time. She will not receive her usual spinal tap for chemo this time because her counts were too low and her oncologist didn't want to "blow her up".
The patient her oncologist asked her to speak with spinal taps and other chemo from her last stay is still there. He was excited to see her again. She knew he was bored so they talked and played card games together. He is hoping to leave by the end of this week if counts stay steady. Rene realized how lucky she has been, she never had to stay over five weeks with her treatments.
She is getting around and seeing some of the other nurses and trading stories. She is getting caught up on her reading and DVDs. Friends are coming by and visiting with her and having fun with them about the usual hospital routines.

Cruising is no fun aboard a military vessel. Cruising is on the Queen Mary or the Queen Victoria, or some other tub that plies the Caribbean in November after the hurricane season. Come to think of it, Rene might be ready for a change of pace, a visit to the Caribbean, come this November. You might be ready too!
