Hospital Visits - yay!!!

I do so LOVE your visits to the hospital! Thank you to all who have been able to make a trip to see me! This whole cancer-chemo thing is a whole new experience for me so I am learning as I go. Here are a few tips when coming to see me…
  1. Be sure to text ahead if you are planning to bring flowers. If I am neutropenic I’m not allowed to have them in my room. Boo hiss!!
  2. If you have the sniffles & think it’s just allergies, please don’t risk it. We can always take a raincheck.
  3. Please do not bring food to my room. I’m still very hungry and unable to eat… I may say some very rude things followed by some shocking gestures.
  4. Keep the visit short (20+ minutes) if in a group setting. One-on-ones are easier for some reason.
  5. Please keep in mind talking is difficult for me even with a pain pump.
  6. Be prepared to take me on a walk!! I need to keep up my strength and busting outta this room is the highlight of my day!

    Hey Beautiful,

    You have done such a great job on your new blog website!

    It is very informative and upbeat. I love it!

    :)

    I am going to come visit you ASAP, and will also figure out what days I can help with Max.

    I affirm that your brand new body is on the way speedy-delivery, full to the brim with God's love and light!

    *hugs*

    Love,

    Indi and I are sending love and prayers from Miami for you and Max and Chris and your family. I heart you Alisa. I wish I was there so I could entertain you in the hospital and help you with Max.

    Hey Alisa,
    Joyce (Bird) here - wishing you lots of love and healing. Try to take things not just one day at a time, but one second at a time - it makes everything easier. Savor all of it. I hope to get by to see you soon, and wish I could bring Boris to snuggle with you, but Seton doesn't have an agreement with Pet Pals. Hang in there - Love, Joyce
