The Boring Joy of Things Going as Expected

As expected, Bill got his Gemzar drip today, with no surprises, no crises, no shocks, no amusing weirdnesses.

Boring and wonderful.

The only new development is that he has swollen glands in his neck and wants to sleep all day and all night, even with no new medications. No fever. Still has lots of blood in his sinuses. Of course we have no idea what all of that adds up to, but I would say that the sleeping thing is a rather big change. He says he could sleep around the clock if allowed. Hmmmmm.

We got the chemo chair by the HUGE window today. Everyone tries to get that chair, and this is the first time we've landed it. The great thing about this chair, besides the fact that it provides a sweeping mountain view, is that there are about 10 little birds that feed just on the outside of the window.

It's practically stupid how heart-happy you can get turning your back on all the plastic bags of poisonous chemicals, and the tubes, and the sickness and sadness, in order to just look through a window and watch little birds.
