ready to go home..to come back tomorrow!

I am still in the hospital. Tim practiced giving me my shot that i have to have twice a day, i have to admit its worse when someone you know is doing it. Tim was so gentle i though it was like he was trying to put an iv in my stomach and the nurse just kept saying, just stick it in fast and Tim would just look at me to see if it was hurting. He did a great job. I was hoping to go home today but that is not going to happen, and i have surgery on Thurs and Monday so i am assuming they are going to keep me for a while. If they let me go home tomorrow i will just have to come back on Thurs although the endless questions would end..what have you ate? what have you drank? what are you doing? how are you feeling? does your chest hurt? whats wrong with your throat? Seriously driving me crazy! I have a roommate this time, she is the sweetest 13 year old girl i have ever met, and she has a very rare form of leukemia. Her trials make mine seem so much smaller! She never complains, and what she is going through just reminds me of last year. I have talked with her and her Mom quite a lot, what strength they have its amazing. They were asking me about mouth sores, and chemo and its so hard its like living it over again but worse. Her port got severely infected and they had to remove it, she is having temperatures, and blood transfusions, low blood counts. When her Mom started crying i almost lost it. Its hard having no privacy but almost good in a way, it reminds me of what is important and how lucky i am! All my love
