Me Again...

A while ago Mike's nurse Bethany came in and told us that Mike will begin his chemotherapy soon. She kindly explained what he should expect and how he will feel. He listened intently and seems "ready to rumble". I wasn't sure of how he felt about beginning his treatment, especially when he asked me for a pen and paper. What was he going to write? Some thoughts, some words of encouragement to himself...I didn't know. He jotted something down quickly, handed me the paper and said, "Don't let me forget this." I was almost scared to read it, fearful that I might cry. When I looked at the paper I laughed out loud when I read "Tonight: Colts vs. Saints, Saturday: OK vs. Miami." So much for some profound memoir! I am so glad that some things never change!! Go Colts!! Here's to Peyton having a whole bunch of TDs tonight!


Also, Melisa is in Mike's bed currently watching TV, specifically General Hospital. Mikey is reading the USA Today, seemingly not paying attention. One scene was over-the-top drama and Mike says, "My God Melisa, you're gonna have to turn that shit off! It's causing my leukemia to flare up!" I thought Mom and I were gonna fall in the floor. Well guess who's still in the bed? And guess who's watching General Hospital? Again, so glad that some things never change! Go Sonny Corinthos!! (Sara, It's 3:00 somewhere!)




I have added M&M's contact information here at Vandy on the right hand side of the blog under 'Contact M&M at Vandy'. While no fresh flowers are allowed on the floor, cards are more than welcome.
