Good news, my radiation will start on Monday. I might make it back to Alaska by Valentine’s Day after all. I think the medical staff is getting tired of scolding me so they’re finally getting me out of here pretty soon.
Tomorrow, I have another bone marrow aspiration. That’s the one that hurts a lot when they pull a chunk of bone marrow out of my hip. I’m going soft now, this will be my sixth aspiration but the first one with sedation. They said they will give me a lollipop for the sedation. I’m not sure if they thought I was coming from the pediatric wing but I’d love a lollipop. I may ask if I can get a cool sticker for my lunchbox while they’re at it.
In other news, I just got some tats! That’s right, my first tattoos and my insurance company is paying the bill. How could it get any better than that?? The tats aren’t very artistic yet. They consist of three tiny dots, one in the middle of my chest and one on each side of my chest. It’s for radiation alignment. As soon as I got the tattoos, I had a strong urge to write a rap song. So far, it goes like this...
“Yo, yo, yo....”
The rest of it will come, I’m sure. Maybe I need more tattoos first.
Keep working on that rap, I'll put you in my show February 26 :)
