We arrived at the expected check in time of 8 am. This is photo was snapped at 11 am in the cafeteria. The breakfast eggs churn in the belly of this beast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698a47422a4a3f351b127096/9e57c0de-9877-4510-b8bc-3796432fc90d/2.jpeg Blog - Candid Moments From Cycle 2 - In the Hospital - Make it stand out Pre-admission: Rare footage of Lil Miss Sunshine showing a choice finger as the clock struck 12 pm (hour four of waiting) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698a47422a4a3f351b127096/28a562c7-7ca7-4563-bd50-cce24246de8e/3.jpeg Blog - Candid Moments From Cycle 2 - In the Hospital - Make it stand out Post-admission: Oh!

Even with bouts of nausea and fatigue, I’m able to get around the ward like the shiny 36-year-old with gumption that I am! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698a47422a4a3f351b127096/4ece8fb7-b2d1-4deb-bf69-f910f190cec4/5.JPG Blog - Candid Moments From Cycle 2 - In the Hospital - Make it stand out Picc me, choose me, love me! Did you know: A PICC line (periperhally inserted central catheter) is inserted into a large vein in the upper arm and threaded through the vein until the tip rest in the superior vena cava (the large vein located in chest directly above the right side of the heart). Wild! This is where they pump in the chemo juice! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698a47422a4a3f351b127096/714c126a-3b06-4f6c-8eca-8853795d3529/6.jpeg Blog - Candid Moments From Cycle 2 - In the Hospital - Make it stand out I set up my desk space to begin, slowly but surely, connect and respond to all of the lovely people who’ve reached out to me during this journey.

She created this astounding portrait of Fred and George as she knows I miss them a lot when in the hospital. I’m so lucky! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698a47422a4a3f351b127096/7ff68aef-4092-4322-bdd6-ad501482ef0f/13.jpeg Blog - Candid Moments From Cycle 2 - In the Hospital - Make it stand out This is the artist formally known as Kennedy, also my niece and a star in my sky.

I hardly know her! Did you know: this indwelling tube is placed to drain recurring, excess fluid buildup (pleural effusion) caused by cancer. When I first arrived in the hospital in March, the drain couldn’t drain fast enough. This fluid around my heart and lungs explained why I couldn’t catch my breath. With each drain, they pull less and less fluid. The chemo treatment is working! I will admit, the draining is painful AF. A bit like a stabby stabby stab between my ribs as a vacuum pulls out the fluid and the air inside me with it. I curl up like a spider on its back. One day, I will bid her adieu. Until then, the PC and I shall carry on together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698a47422a4a3f351b127096/e3edc306-e1a2-4822-874f-d8d5b7795e52/16.jpeg Blog - Candid Moments From Cycle 2 - In the Hospital - Make it stand out During my stay in the chemo ward I enjoy my morning laps with a cup of jo.
