Sundays at the hospital are really empty. They shut down all the escalators and nearly everything is closed and dark. Just the transfusion centers and labs for people who need daily monitoring or are getting chemo are open.
We watched a bunch of animal planet this morning while I was getting my fluids/magnesium in the ATC because if you try watching tv before 8 am, a surprising number of channels are still playing infomercials, whereas animal planet was showing "dogs 101" and just giving information about random breeds of dog. Which then made Patrick look at what dogs the SPCA has up for adoption and really just want to get one, though we don't really have a good setup for a pet in our current place and pets are on my no-no list right now because they could bring germs.
Patrick's parents came down to visit and brought down dinner (chicken and dumplings for easy chewing and lots of protein) and his mom sat with me for a bit while Patrick went to Costco. Sadly they didn't have any of the frozen crepes that we got before I went in, because I think I could have eaten a bunch of those and gained back some weight faster. I'm technically only down about 5 pounds, but I can tell that a good chunk of that is muscle/fat from how my skin fits my arms and legs now. If I bend them the right way I look sort of wrinkly and elephantish, which is a strange thing to feel.
