The Waiting Game

For my partying readers this post will be a great time to play a drinking game.  Throw one back every time I say a form of "wait".

I'm still waiting on the green light for treatment.  I went for another blood test today.  My arms will be comparable to the cast of "Requiem for a Dream" by the end of this.  I am waiting to hear back on the results.  I have noted a common event in every appointment and step of the process.  You guessed it - waiting.  My parents and I have perfected the art of waiting.  We wait in the clinic waiting room.  We wait in the lab waiting area.  We wait for the nurse/doctor to arrive in the room.  We wait for the chemo to drip.  We wait for results on tests.  We wait for the drugs to do their trick.  We wait to see if the plan worked.  We wait for new normalcy to feel normal.  We wait for title "survivor".  We wait and wait and wait.  Tomorrow I will wait for a phone call from my nurses... until then my friends.

As Tom Petty wisely sings "The waiting is the hardest part"
