Black bags
Day two is over.
Arrived at around 11am and the ward was a flurry of activity. Most of the chairs were filled with patients sitting calmly with IV lines in and black bags suspended above them, their contents being slowly infused by the machines that go bing.
I asked the nurse what’s with the black bags, I mean I know it’s nasty stuff but the visual makes it somewhat worse. She smiled and advised that most chemo is light sensitive so the black bag is necessary to block out the light. It would be good if another color was used to block out the light I thought.
I said hello and smiled to those I recognized from yesterday. I thought they all looked a little bit more weathered, listless and pale. They smiled and greeted me, probably having similar thoughts.
Strange club this is.
Today was short and sharp. Less than 2 hours and I was on my way leaving most of the club members behind.
Feeling ok at the moment. New, stronger drugs keeping some of side effects at bay.
Resting.
My Unplanned Sabbatical 
Those drip bags are like wheelie bins. Arguably very functional, but totally devoid of any design, branding or consumer appeal. Certainly not designed by the swedish or by Steve Jobs. There’s an idea ….. Slap an Apple logo on those black bags and they’d have instant Serg appeal.
