Great Grey Building

0 Recommendations

Yesterday I went in for my treatment and had to do the customary wait time of two hours.( Living in Canada has it's perks but this is not one of them. Not enough hospital staff. ) It left me lots of time to think about how incredibly my life has changed. Spending so much time at the hospital how could that be? I envy healthy people , people who just go in for a regular check up. There I am with the yellow requisition for blood work no waiting in line just go straight in.....I sit down almost every week to get my blood drawn from my wrist ( you ladies know what the means ) and off to my appointment upstairs in oncology. Geeze how grim.....all grey walls, no color,crappy coffee and god awful waiting chairs. We should have those chemo chairs for us when we wait don't they know our poor little bodies need comfort??? Oh well I must say I am grateful to be able to be treated don't get me wrong......I just never planned to get to know the ENTiRE 7th floor .....It will be one year next week that I go this sort of "pilgrimage". I just wanted to commemorate it and say to us ladies spending time in the "Great Grey Building" in order to sustain our lives, more power to us! We are strong. So strong.........
