Good news! Through a twist of fate, I have managed to be the proud new owner of a portable dvd player. It's a long story, but the important part is that I have this new toy to keep me amused when I go for my lido drip on Monday. I think it takes about 3 or so hours and it will be nice to be able to watch some movies while I am doing it.

DH gave me a video store gift card for Xmas and they had big sales on DVDs so I bought a couple of old favourites. I am saving them for Monday.

THere was a guy who I crossed paths with in the summer who was having chemo at the same time I was having a 4 day steroid infusion and he said the dvd player really helped him get through the chemo. I sure wish I'd had one when I had IVIG. That was a 6 hour treatment 3 days in a row!

If only people who are well had any idea the stuff we go through just to be able to function sometimes-I don't think most of them ever think about the people in the hospitals they drive by every day.

Anyway, it's nice to have a new toy!
