Checking In To The Kettering Hotel

My impression of my dog  Korra
if she found out she had to
stay in the hospital. 
A disappointing morning but my doctor wanted a "perfect" scan, so I was prepared for this. Its still a let down though. I weighed in JUST under 120lbs today, which is great news seeing as how this new chemo called ICE will likely induce nausea and vomitting (lets hope not). I'm not one who throws up easily, so I'm going to make sure my food stays down even when the going gets tough hehe.

I will be here for two nights and likely be able to leave Wednesday ::crossing fingers:: I must say its kinda weird to check-in for a room at a hospital feeling completely fine. I've never done that before. Each time I've stayed in a hospital it was because I was sick. Picture me, just sitting on my hospital bed right now just chillin. Thats what I'm doing, just here sitting, not even hooked up to anything yet.

***Update: They finally gave me my first infusion of this ICE chemo and it is 10:30pm. I checked in at 2pm, thats crazy! Also I managed to get a tiny workout in: 20 Squats, 30 leg circles each leg, 40 alternating lunges, 20+ wall pushups, 2min 15sec wall sit, and 20 alternating standing glute kickbacks. I might have done a few other short exercises but I can't remember exactly.
