Nothing Cold!!

So, I just learned the meaning of this sign, which has been posted on Joe's hospital door since chemo began:

I thought "nothing cold" WAS the chemo precaution, but no. "Chemo precaution," I just learned, means that Joe's body fluids [sweat, tears, urine, saliva, ETC. (caps intended)] are toxic. So much for the kissing we've done! :) And the kissing we were planning to do. His body should flush the platinum within 48-56 hours or so, but it can't feel great to know your body is excreting Cancer-causing agents. Especially when you have Cancer. Poor Joe. The "Nothing Cold!" order is because cold beverages or food makes the hands and feet of people on this chemo go numb. I would revise the sign to read:

Chemo Precautions!!!!!

(Also, nothing cold.)

But that's just me.
