Immune System Is ShotYesterday Rene began her official foray into her nadir because she was diagnosed as being neutropenic. There was a slight problem, no one told her and she took a walk around the floor without a mask covering her face. After returning to her room, she was met by the "Floor Nazi" from the nursing staff and was chastised.
Rene quickly pointed out that there was no sign on her door stating this condition therefore she was innocent! This rebuttal caused the "Floor Nazi" to chastise her nurse about the lack of a sign; as you see, it went downhill quickly. Both Rene and her nurse had a great laugh about it and even the "Floor Nazi" is still loved by them!
Food, Food, Food
Pei Wei was her requested establishment for Chinese food last night and she was pleased with my promptness to the order. Since I was back and not distracted from the events of last week, I suddenly found myself on a chocolate and Dr. Pepper's run. Yes, she is making up for her suffering of last week of not being able to "boss" me around.
Being There
Rene has new friend on the floor that is being treated for a blood cancer also. Unfortunately, when she left the hospital after her fifth treatment, they were still there. When she returned after three weeks, they were still in the hospital!
Being the type of person that she is, they spend time supporting each other by having lunch, playing cards, or just plain talking. Since Rene is past the worst of her treatment and her friend is at the beginning, she has taken the role of spiritual support with them.

Eugene, I'm not sure how the missing sign was blamed on the nurse. In some way, sort, or form, I'm sure the blame belongs with the husband ;)
