Love/hate relationships

Being in the hospital causes you to develop a love/hate relationship with a lot of things. You love all the medications that ultimately will help you, but hate the effects of them later.

So I thought I would list some things that I love and hate:

1) I love how modern medicine has enabled Becky to receive her new marrow. I hate how it makes her feel.

2) I love how the nurses and doctors have been very caring and empathetic while we've been here. I hate being woken at 2 a.m. by the nurse who is trying to take Becky's vitals.

3) I love the machines that help distribute medication to Becky. I hate the beeping sound that goes on during the day and at night. Would someone please tell the companies that make these machines to soften the beep?

4) I love how Becky gets meals that are geared to help her maintain a healthy diet. I hate how on the Step 1 diet nothing has any taste, especially when I have to eat it.

5) I love how large of a room Becky has to stay in. I hate walking 45 yards to the bathroom.

The list goes on and on. Trust me, Becky has way more to write on this topic than me.

We appreciate all of your kind thoughts and prayers. Becky and I see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope to end our love/hate relationship with the hospital soon :)
