Today is Saturday, and my first infusion was five days ago.  The side effects have been tolerable–mostly low-grade nausea and fatigue that is extreme at times.  We will pack up and head back to the hospital on Monday morning, with a generous extra allowance of 15 minutes to arrive at 6 AM for Infusion #2.  I’ll be ready to go with warm socks from Kendall and with Delaney’s heart cards.

Warm feet in cold hospital room!

During our down time, we’ve spent some time exploring Rochester.  David does indeed now have his bike from Walmart, which he is putting together as I type.  We have made it to the Farmers’ Market and to a few parks along the way.  Olive is a huge fan favorite in Rochester.

Hard to get through the Farmers’ Market without gaining some pounds.

We have also discovered the Rochester Honkers baseball team!  The stadium is maybe 200 yards from our apartment.  Unfortunately, we missed Roto Rooters’ Seat Cushion night, but we have high hopes for Mason Jar night next week.

Nothing says baseball like hot dogs.  With onions.

More to come next week after Round 2.
