List #1: Second Treatment

It took 2 hours before my treatment actually got started

(Something about both oncologists were, quite literally, out to lunch.)

I met a newer nurse named Kim.

(Kim claimed to be the "mean nurse" because she'd worked in the ER for the last 16 years.)

My sisters wanted to take photos of EVERYTHING.

(Apparently, my re-tying my shoe as I got out of the car was worthy of documenting.)

We played several rounds of the Famous Person Game before Rebecca gave up and said she was out of 'C' names.

(This is a great game to play in the car or when you're sitting around waiting for something. One person comes up with a famous person, fiction or non, who has a first and last name. The next person follows that up with a first name that starts with the first letter of  the previous person's last name. Example: Bill Cosby is followed up with Charlie Brown.)

Rebecca spotted a pair of cardinals.

(The cancer centre has huge windows over looking a valley, and there are many types of birds that come sit right outside the windows. Oh yeah, and chipmunks.)

Espresso beans are not the perfect cancer centre snack as you might think.

(My best friend Erin and her parents gave me a care package the last time I was home, and one of the items in said package was World Market Espresso beans. Don't eat espresso beans when you're some where that requires many hours of bed sitting.)

My knitting was accused of being something phallic.

(Kim questioned, "What in the world!" was I knitting. It's supposed to be a scarf, and it's not my fault that the ends have a tendency to curl up towards the middle. I never said I was a professional knitter...)

Nurses are under appreciated.

(Having to sit in a bed for more than 5 hours made me think about how precious the men and women who work in the medical profession are, specifically those who're nurses. Kim and Brenda were my nurses, and they, whether they know it or not, really showed me Jesus. There's just really something special about oncology nurses.)

Are there games that you play by yourself or with others when you have to wait around for a long time, like when you're in the doctor's office or on a road trip?
