Dear Diary,
We spent three hours in the hospital, whilst C had their monthly session on a drip to boost their immunity..
On every floor of the hospital so many people patients, nurses, orderlies & doctors made eye contact.
The hospital is old in parts.
The medical waste gargantuan.
We sat C & I whilst the liquid dripped into her bloodstream, and talked about marriages, children, families.. we played music loudly in the car on the way back to C's and jigged around in our seats - a semblance of a car disco.
The next day I went to the blood bank - the option of donating plasma seemed like a good idea.
But my blood flow was slow, maybe I was dehydrated.
So they couldn't do the whole extraction.
I wanted to leave immediately - mortified that my body had failed me. But I felt faint and had to sit, drink a lot of fluids, eat salty snacks and be cared for by a team of such kind people that I cried.
