Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

Infusion Line Dancing in Your Recliner

If you’ve just finished a round of chemotherapy, you may not be up to any line dancing for a few days. (After a week of biochemotherapy, I know I sure wasn’t but, then again, I don’t even know how to line dance.) Nevertheless, sit back in your recliner with your laptop or iPad and use your imagination to enjoy the following new lyrics to Alan Jackson’s “Good Time”.

Drip, drip, all week long
Infusin’ all day from dawn to dawn.
Countin’ the days till Friday night
That’s when all the conditions are right.
For a good time
I need a good time.

Yea, I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

They shut the line, got my meds
Put on my clothes, forgot about docs
Sun goin’ down, head across town
Pick up my puppy and turn it around
Good time,
Aahh, I need a good time

Been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time

HEY!

Meds in the hand, Boost on ice
Just like my docs taught me about
Singin’ along, nausea songs
Rowdy aches all night long
Good time
Lord, we’re having a good time,

Yea, I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

Whew

Heel toe dosey doe
Tumblin’ down stairs, swiggin’ Boost.
Ativan, Compazine
medicine heaven, Double the dose
Good time,
Lord, we’re havin’ a good time

Cause I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

Neupogen shots, Boost on tap
Sweet golden puppy set on my lap
G with an O, O with a D
T with an I and an M and an E
And a good time
Shhheww, good time
I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

Ahh, turn it up now.

Big dose of Zofran.
Boost on tap.
A good looking puppy.
To set on my lap.

A G with an O, an O with a D
A T with an I an M with an E
That spells good time
A good time

Ohh, I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time

Twelve o’clock, two o’clock three o’clock four
Five o’clock we know where that’s gonna go
Closing the door, shuttin’ it down
Run from that hospital way across town
Good time
Ohh, we’re havin’ a good time.
Ohh, I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

Ohh, I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

Ohh, I’ve been infusin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time

Ohh, yea, a good time.

I need a good time.

Yea, a good time.


Anyone know where I can take some line dancing lessons?
