Good visit-planning with my night R.N. and great luck avoiding sodium bicarbonate "air-in-line" alarms resulted in a
much better night's sleep: 6.5 hours with only one significant disruption. My blood work came back showing a hemoglobin drop so, just before sunrise, I locked down a decent night's sleep and woke up to meet with the physician and sign my consent (again) for a transfusion. This hiccup will not disrupt my second dose of cytarabine that is due to be hung at 10 a.m.; my chemo schedule continues as planned. I hope to be discharged tomorrow afternoon IF /WHEN my (remarkable and much-appreciated!) kidneys purge the 24 hour methotrexate infusion to an untraceable (<0.05) level.
Everything is moving with clockwork professionalism and friendly customer service. It's going to be another productive day of lymphoma-poisoning here on the Oncology Floor :)

What a fabulous
Burger Bach dinner picnic with Joseph here in room 132!
New-Zealand organic beef? Delicious!
Company and effort in getting me such a special meal? Extraordinary!
Maybe the best burger since Jackson Hole in NYC ....
