Well, Grey's Anatomy is tonight and we are going to be watching it from our cozy beds in the Inn.  YAH!!!!  Michellie could almost run from her spot on the cancer ward at the hospital this afternoon.  We started with sullen and tired and desperate this morning with an early wake up, and as the day progressed so did the mood.  There is a noticeable shift when Michellie starts to feel better:  a look in the eye, the furrowed brow disappears, a "please" or "thank you" returns, a smile, a joke and the texting fingers get faster.  It is amazing how she can be a wisp on the pillow and then a dominant force ready to face the world again, all within one shift of a nurse and doctor's schedule.  We have a full day of chemo tomorrow, but we know it is all down hill from here - maybe even with a crazy carpet for "coasting" as they say here on the East Coast.  Tonight we are going to enjoy the peace, the lack of interruptions for vitals, the fluffy pillows, the internet, and Michellie's second favorite show to ER.  Sweet Dreams everyone!
