Ok! Another somewhat quiet day as I anxiously await the results of yesterday’s bone marrow biopsy. As each day unfolds, you can see that the nurses have everything nicely scheduled out as to what happens to me when. From shower breaks, to IV fill ups, to meds, etc. everything basically runs like clockwork. How they manage to pull this off without using Microsoft Project; without setting up fixed deadlines with interim milestone checkpoints; without developing mitigation plans, and, most importantly, without holding frequent meetings is beyond me! I guess that there must be more than one way to schedule activities. Who knew?????

Had lots of company today – my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and niece stopped by and while they were here, some other friends stopped by as well. At that point, the new, smaller room was really a handicap. It felt like having a convention in an elevator. We played cards and had a great time!

Once again, Nancy brought me lunch from downstairs – a steak sandwich – which was fantastic! It keeps me from having to order the hospital food which is a huuuuge plus.

One thing that I continually neglect to mention is that the TV around here actually offers the Al Jazeera channel! I’m going to have to push to see if Comcast can offer it as well! You get so hooked on it so easily!!!!!!!!

So, we are playing the waiting game. It’s the only game in town and it’s far preferable to the situations that exist with a number of my fellow patients. Again, things are going very well and I continue to ask for your prayers to maintain that status.

Thanks,

Bob
