Well, we have finally gotten the lab issue straightened out now. Cynthia finally received her official 2nd treatment today. All went well (except for the snail's pace that everything moves at). We arrived at the hospital at 12:00. Reviewed the labels with Cynthia's name, DOB, sex (yes) and phone number about 6 times. We finally had labs drawn at 12:30, then waited for our 1:00 Dr. chat. We got in to his office right on time...but the labs had not yet been processed so we waited yet again. Around 1:30, we met with the Dr. He reviewed the lab results with us while we reviewed the results to make sure they were Cynthia's. Everything was a go so off to the Day Clinic....where we waited again for about 40 minutes. However, once they came for us, the process moved along about as fast as it can. Two of the drugs are pushed by the nurse, the third is a drip. It takes about an hour to push the first two drugs and about an hour for the drip. We finally checked out around 5:00 and headed to Panera for a little soup & sandwich. Cynthia feels fine and is out reading the paper right now.
Leading up to today, we have been spending much of our time "going to work...coming home...going to work...coming home" That is Cynthia's little mantra for "not having any fun at all!" And you all know how she likes to have her fun. I believe she has most of her shopping done (most by Internet and phone) although I still have a few more items to pick-up. We also finally cut off the remaining hair she had left. It itched quite a bit and was getting very sparse. We found her two really nice stocking caps made of a very soft fleece which she likes a lot. Good timing too with the temps in the single digits and wind chills below zero (I really am starting to hate WI in the Winter).
Our tree is all decorated and there are presents under the tree...most of them for me I think. I do love Christmas..
Finally, we are starting to plan our trip to Las Vegas when this is all over. We are looking forward to many cold ALCOHOLIC adult beverages with our good friends Mark & Kim. Here they are from our last trip out there. Aren't they a good looking couple...and look at all that hair.
With Cynthia being couped up for the better part of a year...this trip could get very ugly (one could only hope). I can't wait.
Well...take care all. Lets all hope and pray that Cynthia has no more delays in this process.

I'm so glad to see an update. Glad everything went well today. The hats sound cozy and I'm sure they look fab. I'm thinking of you guys. One more down!!! Yippie!
Glad to hear things are clipping (pun intended) along nicely! Think Cynthia would like a personal shopper job part-time?? I haven't even STARTED yet. UGH!
And your tree looks really nice. Fleece hats and fireplaces?? Mmmmmmmmmm.....
So happy to hear that all went well this time. Kim and I are so looking forward to seeing you. Margaritaville is calling our names. We've got the same pic (but of you two) on our fridge. However now that my name and picture are on the world wide web, I'll be forced into re-entering the witness protection program (as Happy Longfellow, the ex-porn star). But that's ok - anything for you Cynthia! Have a merry christmas and 2009 is going to rock.
