On Thursday when Carla and I returned to the 8th floor after her 4th radiation dose, her friend Jenny, who has "the Room" she wants, was walking by WITHOUT her IV pole looking for the dietician. She was planning her escape! Jenny has been there about 6 weeks and had progressed enough with her diet intake that she could leave the next day. Carla was more than happy to hear that news, both for Jenny and to eventually get "the Room".
Today comes along, and Carla is checking on Jenny (and "the Room"). Jenny is packed and ready to GO! She looked like someone packing to go on a long vacation, suitcases, bags filled with everything. But she cannot leave until 4 or 5pm because of a study that she is involved in...but she did go home. YAY!! Because it was late in the day, Carla's move to "the Room" would have to wait.
Carla completed her 5th dose of radiation. The normal radiology staff would not be working Saturday for her last dose, so they said their goodbyes to her. They said Carla is the second toughest person to go thru the TBI that they know. I think she is the toughest, she was holding back. Thank you Tarali and Mark, you were awesome.
Thank you Lisa P and family, and the Huntzinger's for dinner. Not only delicious, but helpful in so many ways.
