Day 57

I walked into my chemo room with my nurse Sue chanting, "last round, last round, last round!"  It's amazing how in tune they are with our treatments- how we are doing and how much left to go.  They are genuinely happy for us when we near the end of our stay there.  The doctors I see once every 2-3 weeks.  They chart my progress via all the blood tests so it's probably better that I don't see them often.  It means nothing is wrong and everything is going to plan.  The nurses however, I see everyday.  I  don't if it's the chemo drugs that have given me a heightened sense of observation. (or maybe it's because I just saw Bradley Cooper in Limitless)  I notice the same thing about every single nurse that has treated me.  They treat every single patient the same.  Always with a smile on their face and always going the extra mile.  No matter how  grumpy and rude some of these patients are and believe me, not everyone is Mr Sunshine like me.  Makes me think about how I treat people.  I meet not so nice people everyday- I do drive in Richmond for one thing.  I know it takes a special person to work in the medical field.  I don't know if I could do it but I could try to have their attitude- where everyone they meet get their highest level of care regardless.   Wouldn't this also be an example of showing Christ love.  Lofty goals, perhaps...but I think that as I am beginning to round 3rd base and head for home, I am thinking about changes as a person.  Diet, lifestyle and attitude.  Although I whined and guilted June until she bought me a PREMIUM fish sandwich at Wendy's yesterday.  Small steps in the diet area, haha.  It's back to no carbs and veggies this week, yeah.
