checking in

I went home and told Marie that the doctor wanted her to go to the hospital that day. We went together and packed a bag for each of us. We went to the hospital and checked in. They were aware that we were coming and the registration process didn't take that long. Marie was put into the chemotherapy ward which was in an older part of the hospital. Even so the floor was neat and clean and the nursing staff was some of the best I've seen. The reason I felt that way wasn't for their medical skills, it was for how gently they treated Marie. They made her comfortable and were reassuring.
