The past two weeks has been a melting pot of emotions for Mom. This morning and especially while driving to the hosp Mom felt a deep sadness, frustration and anger about this "new lifestyle" she has been dealt. Mom, once on the Oncology unit soon began to forget why she was actually there. She and Poppie were greeted with many smiles and hugs by all the staff.
Poppie and Mom quickly shifted gears and got pulled in with all the warmth and love from their newest members of our family. Yes,the Oncology unit staff have adopted them as Mom and Poppie have adopted the staff. It is unbelievable that Mom has known the Oncology team since the end of October 2009. Time is flying by.
Brian arrived around dinner time. He stayed for several hours. Poppie was with Mom from admittance, 1:00pm and left for home around 7pm. I spoke with Mom around 9pm her time. She sounded relaxed and settled in. She is emotionally strong for this next Chemo induction.
More to come tomorrow.
All our appreciation for your love and support,
Karen
