Coming to ya live from VGH this is your Captain speaking, your Cancer Captain that is. When on board flight 4C-4310 please know all exits and nurse stations to make this hydromorphone flight that much more enjoyable! Top drawer has some sweets and of course a corner window seat is available for all layover passengers.
It's been 4 days since I boarded this flight and it looks like there's some turbulence ahead but a soft landing in the end. Tomorrow (Fri) I will be admitted in to the operating room under general anesthetic for a procedure called debridement, a removal of infected tissue. Let's call it a tune up shall we, sounds much better! I expect after I wake from my tune up I'll be slightly tired and need some more rest in my first class cabin. We'll see what my doctors have to say tomorrow but I expect to be here until at least Sunday recovering and ensuring the infection is gone.
I've had so many passengers on my flight and should have charged a fare hahahaha. Uncles, aunts, cousins, best friends and coworkers have all come to see me and have kept me cheerful and entertained. They brought with them many tasty sweets and I thank you but going forward ask for no more as my tummy can't handle all the goodness at such a high flight level.
The nurses have been truly amazing and seem to like my humour and understand to close my room door at all times so I only ride my flight and not other patients flights who seem to have way more turbulence.
It's now 2015 and time has sure flown by since my diagnosis. I can't say 2015 will be the best year ever, but I can say it's almost the end of my flight and I'm looking forward to landing.
Happy New Year everyone!
XOXO
