For all my nurses doctors
And all the rest of you
Such heart you all have
Cheery dispositions
I feel the caring
And no glaring
First my blood work at 7:10
We talk about running
And my newly sewed
Unicorn scrub cap 🦄
Over so fast
A stint for my chemo installed
And blood work test on the way
10 minutes later
Results there
I look at MyChart
Counts seem good
Look at my schedule
Notice my chemo appointment
Seems to not show on MyChart
It was earlier
I slowly panic
Maybe quickly
I know I’ll see my doctor in 30
But I’m sure my heart rate jumped
Or maybe just a panic
Bump
Talk to my doc
Schedule still on
Glitch with my version of MyChart
My panic subsides
And my BP is fine
We we talk I ask questions
Answer questions
So open is she
She reminds me nicely
About my temperature check
And what it means to have 100.4
I now fully understand
And will call and be out the door
I rather avoid the ER
But know to get my blood work
And the ER is not my decision
It’s one of the skilled people
All of you that make that call
And I understand that
And I go with that flow
I love in my chart notes
It says
His hair fell out
and he made
himself a unicorn hat
It makes me laugh
How Lucky I am
To be at OHSU
With all of you
Off to my infusion
A window seat I get
Watching the tram
And the beautiful view
I have fun repeating my name
And my birthday too
First two different drugs
One for nausea
The other I call my insomnia one
I start at the day before with pills
And get an injection dose
The day of
It definitely affects my sleep
But then again
As I awake early
You all get a poem
Hopefully a treat
I Hope your day goes well
I think of you all
With your kindness
Your smiles
Your heart
Thank you
Being a Pisces
I tend to express my feelings
I have always been very glad of that
Poems seem to arise
Please share as you wish
