Today made me all the more aware of how much God has really blessed us.
One of the fellow chemo patients in the room today was a single father of 3 young children. Today was his first day and he was understandably nervous. When asked about whether he had much help and support, he said not really. With a later appointment time, the volunteer drivers weren't able to drive him so he needed to drive himself and two of his three kids to chemo. He immediately started feeling quite nauseous from his chemo regimen and couldn't quite snap out of it. After 3 hours, his only other option was to wait until his nausea and dizziness passed, and hope it would be before the 6th floor shut down for the day.
From a life overflowing with blessing, our choice was obvious.. And thankfully the man wasn't too weirded out with our offer to help.
Personally, the IV needle was painful today. The nurse was very careful, to the point of being painstakingly slow and extending the pain for much longer :( But it's in and here's hoping it's in the whole 5 days!
