We started the morning off with a weekly PICC line cleaning at the Davis Infusion Center. Notable differences at the Davis Infusion Center: patient chairs do NOT recline; there are nice "nature" noises through the ceiling speakers (birds chirping); the room is smaller; and they have a huge collection of paper cranes!
The Japanese legend is that one who folds a thousand paper cranes may have one wish granted. Is it a coincidence that Roberto loves folding paper cranes? Yes.
The nurse Roberto had today told a story about a guy who required multiple PICC lines placed. "Why?" you ask? The man would let his dog play with the cords of the PICC line. The man wouldn't make his canine stop because the dog loved the dangling cords so much. :-\
After Roberto's PICC line got freshened up, we drove to Winters for a nice breakfast at Putah Creek Cafe with newlyweds Julie and Macie Blackwood! The Blackwoods! That has a nice ring to it. The ladies were in town for additional wedding activities with relatives in the area and made some time to see me and Roberto. It's been a long time since we've seen the two of them, so it was nice to spend some time catching up and comparing engagement stories.
Then in the late afternoon, the Martinez family arrived in Davis! We all (us and them) wanted them to visit earlier but it just wasn't in the cards (scheduling conflicts, illness, the usual travel-cancelling annoyances). Roberto's mother, father, brother and cousin drove up from LA and are spending the next two nights with us. Roberto, Pedro, Erik, and I played many rounds and various expansions of Fluxx (a card game where the rules are always ... wait for it ... in flux). Somehow, Pedro kept winning! While we were playing, Roberto's mom made a great dinner for everyone. For tomorrow, there's a big barbeque planned and just simply spending time with family.
Cycle 2 - Day 12
