DAY 39- August 16, 2012
Progress continues as ANC rose to 2.4, platelets doubled to left field, and red cells hung on by a spot .
Ike stopped by with lunch. Some Nurse from another floor ha dropped be earlier and asked if I was Ike's dad. She then left a snack sack for him. Not sure if he is spending his whole lunch hour with me.
Jane quizzed all doctors and nurses thoroughly and insured that they knew my past medical history. I listen as they talk about ,"Him" and "He".

Remember my story about our running buddy Luke in his battle with cancer at Walter Reed: he said things would be fine and then Ruth would come in and bust the gonads of the staff and then leave for him to suffer the indignation of the nursing staff. All of this done in good humor by both Luke and Ruth.
ReplyDeleteAt least I was not there. I would make them hurry up and get something done now! I am not patient but truly feel the staff there is in top if things and very excellent at what they do. See you Saturday :)
