Grandpas first Chemo Treatment

We were on the road at 7:00 yesterday morning heading to the hospital to be with Monkey Papa as he started his first round of chemo.  He was in a great mood and full of jokes for the nurse. 

Nurse:  Any loss of memory?
Grandpa:  Not that I recall

Nurse:  Any heart palpation's?
Grandpa:  Only when I see my wife

We sat with him for at least an hour before treatment.  I took Cassie for a few walks around the hospital, a nurse brought her some cookies and apple juice, she did really well staying at a hospital so long.  They took him away and we all went out to grab some breakfast.   When we got back we sat out in the hospitals court yard for a while and then we were notified Grandpa was all done and back in a room. We all headed there and he was doing really well.  He did have to lay on his back and not move for 6 hours so his artery that was punctured for chemo would clot and heal but everything went well.  He should be coming home today.
