And so it begins.  Feeling a little like this week catapults me into the medical side of this process.  This is what it looks like:

Tuesday– CT (with contrast) Cross Cancer Institiute

Wednesday evening-leave for YYC with Christi (my sister) and Julie (Shaye’s “stand-in” because he is hosting a charity event and can’t come down until Thursday evening…also, I need extra hands to hold and turn purple during the Bone Marrow Biopsy 😉 )

Thursday

8am-Bloodwork

9am-Dietician Consult (Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic)

10am-Coffee Break & Check in with Admitting and confirm info on file

11am-RN Teaching (Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic)

12:50- Physical and History (Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic)

2:15- BONE MARROW BIOPSY- EW – (Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic)

Friday (Also Christi’s full day of testing and coaching)

9:00am-ECG Foothills

10:00am-Unit “tour” (like when you are having a baby and get to tour the maternity ward, but something tells me there are no “theme” rooms on this one

11:00am-Pharmacy teaching

1:00-Chest x-ray

1:30-Meeting with research Nurse about “Study” participation.

Before we leave, we also need to meet with the “Hospital apartment” people to secure the unit Shaye and kids will be staying in while I am in hospital, AND pick up my lovely bright yellow 24hr pee jug…yessss

So yah, nothing much.  Boring really 😉
