Hope in the Hospital

Hey all, day 3 in Sacred Heart Riverbend/Overlook Hotel I came in on Friday with a platelet count of 8 and I've been here ever since with CT scans of stuff and waiting for CT scans of stuff and I'm finally starting to get used to the bed.

But this is not the ideal weekend by any stretch. Energy is very low so I've got to cut this short.

I'm still here people. I'm still here.

A dream lies dead here. May you softly go
Before this place, and turn away your eyes,
Nor seek to know the look of that which dies
Importuning Life for life. Walk not in woe,
But, for a little, let your step be slow.
And, of your mercy, be not sweetly wise
With words of hope and Spring and tenderer skies.
A dream lies dead; and this all mourners know:

Whenever one drifted petal leaves the tree-
Though white of bloom as it had been before
And proudly waitful of fecundity-
One little loveliness can be no more;
And so must Beauty bow her imperfect head
Because a dream has joined the wistful dead!

-Dorothy Parker
