Chemo - Cycle 2 - Day 2 - Fedoras Are Cool

Just me and Roberto today at the Infusion Center.  We wanted to give Adam a day off since he's been so great about helping us out.


Here's a current picture of Roberto.  He's so cute in his military hat.  It's not a real military hat, by the way.  We just picked up a hat from Target.  The choice was between the military hat or a fedora.  Coincidentally, we had just finished watching "White Collar" whose main character likes wearing fedoras.  Alas, I could not persuade Roberto to mimic Neal Caffery.


Here he is sitting pretty in his comfy chair.  We decided that driving the 20+ minutes to Sacramento was worth it instead of going to the Davis Infusion Center because the Sacramento chairs recline and have the seat warming option!  Now that Roberto is bald, the cool air of the Infusion Center makes him colder than before, so he's using the beanie from Tasia!


The Infusion Center has brand new medicine pumps!  They seem to be more convenient for the nurses to keep track of the drugs with the digital library that the pumps contain.  So far, the nurses have had to spend a lot more time pressing buttons in order to find the correct drug name.  Also, they've started a list of drugs that are not in the pump!  Totally convenient.  Well, at least they are shiny and new.


Around lunch time, Jim stopped by to keep us company.  He brought a card/board game with him called "San Juan."  Players slowly build plantations and buildings in order to colonize Puerto Rico.  I ... yeah, that seems like a sort of terrible theme.  Don't get me started on "Archipelago."

I thought that Roberto's appetite would have started to wane but after listening to the nurses talk about the restaurant Tres Hermanas, he sent me out to get a burrito!  "It's within walking distance," he said.  "It'll be really convenient!"  >_<  So, I had a lovely walk today through mid-town Sacramento. 

Two days down!  Three more days!  We're almost half way through.  Robostrong!
