Day 15: Hospital trip #2

Hey everybody! It's me, Braxton. Today was an okay day. It started at 7:30 when I had to wake up for a spinal tap( suctions up to one tsp. of spinal fluid out of your spine to test it for cancer cells). They also gave me a chemo treatment in my spinal fluid. After I woke up from that, I went back to my room to start my chemo therapy. I get my chemo therapy in my room through a tube that is connected to a port in my chest. The medicine drips from a bag through a tube and into me!:) Chemo therapy has many different affects on your body. The most visible affect is hair loss, which has not happened to me yet, although I have shaved my head. After they got my chemo started I could do whatever I wanted, within reason. I am attached to a tower of tubes that follows me everywhere. At about 1:00 my dad left for work, and I was by myself until my friend and his dad came at 2:00. When my friend got here we played Lord of the Rings on the PS2 the hospital has. After a little PS2, we watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off, because it's a good movie, and my family says we are very similar. I just checked my blog and saw all the comments from everyone at Highview. Thanks! Keep writing! Right now my mom and I are watching the NCAA basketball tournament. To be continued...
