I was right where you are now, 3 and a half years ago.I was in isolation for 4 days with my hair just starting to fall out.I had an iv cannula in the bend of my right arm so had to keep it straight and use my left hand for everything.My blood was collected from my ankle each morning -ouch.But at least my husband was visiting me.You poor love,bad timing to land in hospital on a long weekend and your husband away also.The bc ride is full of surprises isn't it.Well your pink sisters are here feeling sorry for you.I'm wearing a virtual white gown and coming into your room to give you a hug! love,Tonya xx
