Getting Ready for Round 6

I received a call from the hospital last night saying there are several beds available and scheduling me to come in at 3pm today. This is a first...to know ahead of time that I will actually be going to the hospital today.
I can't say that I'm excited to begin Round 6, but it will be good to get it over with.
As always, I do have email access in my hospital room, so feel free to send posts during the next several days. Assuming things go as before, I should be discharged on Tuesday, July 31st.
I will keep you updated as I am able.
Take care and please keep sending positive thoughts my way as I get ready for this next round.
Thanks!!!
Love,
Erica
