Day 18 - July 26, 2012
Today was National Chili Dog today so Joyse and I enjoyed something besides hospital food.
Buddy Corbin, the hospital chaplain and fellow NGC graduate, walked several laps this morning. He is a good philosopher and an enjoyable conversationalist.
I have no aches and pains or any side affects at this time, just waiting for the time to have some results from this round of chems which will probably be around 10 August. I have now completed the two doses of Daunorubicin and have to take three more days of Cytabine. This round will be completed by Monday, 30 July which is followed by the waiting period. One has to be on drugs to understand all this crap. Right now, this could be like being in 11 foot tall elephant grass and trying to determine the exact location coordinates so that one coulld call in the fast movers. Where was my GPS in 1968? Not real sure of my location at this point.

Glad you are feeling good. I will be taking care of all 4 of your grand kids as of noon tomorrow for 2 days. So you pray for me and I'll pray for you! Love you, so proud of your strength.

DeleteYou will navigate your way out of this jungle too. You have the right amount of fight!
ReplyDeleteHey Uncle Doug!! The whole TBM Jr family is gathered in Breckenridge. We are praying for you and will probably have an adult beverage or two for you. "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only option."

Who knew when i asked the nurses where to go for a chili dog they would send me to Celebrity Dog. It is owned by Bob Pressley. He is an old race care driver from Kingsport, Tenn. Fortunately Doug warned me thar I could be driving into redneck city. He waa right. But it was worth it. i loved spending the day with you. We will do it again very soon. love you a bunch.
ReplyDeleteDoug,
ReplyDeletePlaying jazz tunes here in CA for you. By the way, my wife, Denise, complimented your granddaughters politeness, maturity, and awareness at our wedding ceremony back in March, she loved 'em. Below is a tune a wrote called "Ashes are Falling" during the 'Scripps Ranch 2003' fires in San Diego, where nobody went to work and many homes were lost. The sky and sunsets were ironically beautiful, though, so I wrote the tune to inspire hope when searching for new beginnings... can't upload it on a blog, but check it out on itunes (under Paul Viani), or http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/vianiquartet
