Well, we just arrived in NYC for the next phase in our drug trial journey. Tomorrow I spend the day meeting with doctors again, and getting various tests/scans/blood work/etc. done all day. I have to get up early and have a big breakfast, because after 11am, it's nothing but water until after my scan at 5:15pm. :-( I'm not a fan of the starvation scans, but, they're necessary.
The drive up was super easy, we made it in just over 3 hours. The trip was sort of spur-of-the-moment: we were originally planning to wake up really early tomorrow and drive up. But that would have meant waking up around 4am and leaving at 5am and hoping that traffic was in our favor. We found a great last-minute deal on Hotwire, at a hotel just a couple blocks from the hospital, so we snagged it, threw our stuff together, and hit the road about 20 minutes after deciding to go for it. :-P It was actually kind of a fun little adventure.
After we checked in, we promptly took a walk to our favorite little bar and had a nightcap and some of their awesome Belgian frites for a midnight snack. We're going to stop back by for dinner before we head out of town tomorrow night. It's such a fun little place, and the food is great.
Anyway, just winding down for the evening, after all that we'll still get nearly 8 hours of sleep before we have to wake up tomorrow. So much better than waking up at 4am! This was definitely a good idea.
Tomorrow won't really bring much news, but I'll post an update after we're finished anyway!
