i thought that for the most part, i was coping with my dad being sick fairly well. then i went to visit him. it was his first day of chemo treatment, and i was there when they were connecting it to his IV. i guess seeing someone who you care about tremendously in the hospital hooked up to all sorts of things gets you a little messed up. but my dad is doing fairly well actually. he's still got a great attitude and outlook on everything, and he's very upbeat when we go visit him. i think he really enjoys ordering his meals. everytime we visit he's looking at the hospital menu trying to figure out what he wants. he particularly likes the hospital omelettes and says they're better than the pancake house omelettes. crazy. i think i may be getting a cold so when i go visit, i have to wear a face mask. his doctor is really excited because my dad is a really good candidate for a bone marrow transplant, so hopefully when he's done with his chemo he can have that done. right now i feel really isolated, like my world has shrunk in some way. i kind of wish i could go on a vacation or something, but fat chance of that happening. i bought my mom a dooney and burke purse for christmas, and i had her open it as soon as i got it. she really likes it. besides her and jesse, i haven't got anyone else's gifts yet. guess i should do that soon....i suppose i've rambled on enough, so i'm gonna go now.
