If I could give new City of Hope patients one piece of advice, it would be, "If someone offers you a warm blanket, take it."
There's nothing like a fresh warm blanket, straight out of the oven, to turn a cranky patient into a cozy one. If someone could figure out how to bake chocolate chip cookies in there at the same time, patients would flock to the City of Hope like preteens to a Miley Cyrus concert. Even patients without cancer would be begging for admission.
Today, I just couldn't bear to walk from the hospital, where I had my x-ray, to the clinic, so I requested transportation (aka wheelchair service). I knew what was coming next.
The technician's first question: "Would you like a warm blanket?"
My answer: "You betcha!"
