As I neared the Chemo room I felt a hand grab my own and spun me around so quickly I felt a bit dizzy. I was about to start yelling at whoever had decided to practically assault me in the hallway, when I saw a small, dainty woman standing in front of me.
"Glynda?" I asked in surprise, tilting my head slightly to the left. Glynda was my favorite nurse at the hospital. She didn't treat me as if I were some sick child that needed help to heal, instead she treated my like an actual person and it was great. I remember on the day I'd found out I had cancer, she's been in the room with me. When my parents and I both started to cry as if our lives were over, which was partially true in my case, she shook her head and crossed her arms. I still remember the exact words she'd told us, she'd said "Don't act as if everything is over. The worlds still spinning, the planets are still in orbit, the sun still has a gravitational pull. Nothing has stopped and nothing is over." I still have to tell myself that sometimes.
"The one and only," Glynda said cheerfully, "I have a surprise for you, no chemo today." She said, hooking our arms together and leading me away from the chemo room.
"No chemo?" I asked doubtfully. I was never aloud to skip chemo. Ever. Skipping chemo was the equivalent to slicing the tires to a car. The whole entire trip was now put on hold because of one small detail.
"That's right! You have group therapy instead today." She said, pulling me towards a different hall.
"You've got to be kidding me." I grumbled in annoyance as Glynda led me to the group therapy room. I hated group therapy. It was depressing and it made me feel like I was just some kid that was slowly dying and had no hope what so ever.
"The doctors said they want to quit giving you Chemotherapy for a bit. As of right now you are in pretty good health and other paitents need chemo more than you do right now." Glynda said apologetically. I sighed because this wasn't the first time for something like this to happen. To often the doctors would say I was getting better, only for me to fall right back down again.
"Yeah," I replied, not knowing what else to say. When Glynda and I reached the room I paused for a brief moment, unsure of myself. "Do I have to?" I asked pleadingly.
"You'll be fine." Glynda said with a soft chuckle as she opened the door.
And now begins the longest hour of my short, tragic life.
(That's fine! I'm almost always jumbled up in my thoughts, and I liked your post. C: )
