The Family
Nurse Young Taking My Vitals
Here I am. Day one of who knows how many days I will be here. Nurse Young has started me on my first medication, Etopiside. Aside from the medical mumbo jumbo, this medication is a vital part of destroying my little friend sitting in the middle of my chest. I look forward to the possible nausea and vomiting that I may experience while taking this drug. My family is over right now. We are watching how bears travel miles and miles to streams where salmon come to reproduce. My father and I enjoyed another game of backgammon. With utter modesty I beat my father six games to one. After every match we share a hand shake and the loser usually mutters something that is not appropriate to write in this blog. It is 9:15 p.m. I, of course, am not at all tired, and expect to have another sleepless night. My body has become very used to this ritual. Tomorrow is another day filled with new medications that will be introduced to my body. An event that I sarcastically will look forward too.
