Chris had some fruit and cheese for dinner and most of his chocolate ensure so he's back on a solid food diet. He told me that he has a lot of work to do with the physical therapist over the next few days and is ready for it. It seems his doctor arranged to get him moved to the oncology section and that his oncologist does not know at this point that's where is is, but I guess she'll be clued in real quick when she goes to find him in the morning. I suspect she's the most conservative out of the group, but since she was ready to hit him with chemo last week when he did not look too good in her opinion and actually looks better now, I'm sure she'll come around. His primary doctor mentioned that she thinks it will be another week before he will be ready. He also made a point of telling me he's gotten used to being stuck with needles and now that he understands what subcutaneous is, he does not complain too much about the lovonox that he gets in the stomach.
The section he's in is very nice, and instead of those stark white walls, his is a light, peaceful green. He's also got a small flat screen tv with sound that you can actually hear. The guest chairs are a lot more comfortable and one is even a recliner so people who come to visit can actually take a load off. Visiting hours are 11-8:30. I'll stop by to see him tomorrow after work, but not sure yet if I will come home first or go straight from work. It seems like it sort of takes the same amount of time.
