Days -7 and -6
Hello everyone this will be my blog for the 2+ months that i am up here in boston at the Dana Farber Children's Hospital. Yesterday i was going to post however i did not get to it but today i will fill you in. I was admitted to my room yesterday and i must say the rooms are pretty small for a 2 month stay but i have to deal with it. The only plus about the room is that there is a computer in it. For electronics there is a vcr and my only question is do they even sell anything thats not a dvd now a days. There is also a lovely antique 13 inch television which goes great with the vcr. There is a weird lighting system like you can change the color of the lights and you can have a bunch of different combinations of colored lights, i don't get the point of it at all. But enough about the room lets get to the staff on the floor. I was checking out my room when my first nurse walked through the door and i wanted to shout out THANK YOU LORD! Wow was she good looking and sweet as could be. The rest of the nurses are extremely nice i knew i was going to get takin care of for the next 2 months. Today was really the start of things. I first had to get a catscan on my head they were checking to see for certain lesions. However of course it was clear because i am the man. Then they started my morphene pump when we got back to the room which is always excellent. i started out having fun with it and just kept hitting the button which really messed me up. So my mom filled me in later on what they had given me which was a blood transfusion. i then started watching the masters while they put my first bag of chemo up. Now i feel ok right now but my guess is the chemo will start kicking in tommorow and i will basically feel like shit. After the masters a new nurse came in who was also gorgeous and i found out that she is a die hard red sox fan which most people in this hospital are. i also found out quickly she is very sensitive about the sox and her and i started going at it about the sox and yanks. So after the whole fight she said ok you and i are gonna have a great 2 months. I knew she wanted my sculpted body from the start. Throughout tonight i will be getting fluids and thats it until tommorow i'll try to keep updating this as much as i can but the more sick i get the less im going to feel like doing it so i may have my mom do it on the nights i don't feel up to it but i miss everyone and hopefully i will talk to you all tommorow.

Big T (and i'm sure the nurses call you that too!),
The English teacher in me is pretty impressed with the blog. The coach in me is very impressed with the courage, fight and determination (not to mention sense of humor too). And the yanks fan in me is extremely impressed with your ability to remain true to the blue when you are surrounded by red (especially the nurses, after all they control the morphine). Don't give up the pinstripes!
We're thinking of you at ELHS,
Coach Beale
