March 26, 2009 11:55 PM 63 days to go

There is obviously nothing that I write that can top yesterday's news. In fact there really is no news today other than I am feeling fine.

About the only that comes to mind is a little off topic. I was reading an article today about the fact that only a handful of hospitals in this country keep their medical records in electronic format. If that is truly the case, then let me tell you, Dana-Farber is at the forefront of technology in this area. Everything is computerized such that things can be accomplished instantly. From the setting up of appointments to the dispensing and referencing of medical test results - it is all done online and done such that everyone has reference to the information. The moment that my blood samples are run in the lab, the results are automatically put online and everyone can instantly access them. One of the nicer features of their system is that they can columnize my blood test results, for example, and immediately compare today's result with those from the past few weeks in order to look for trends. And this can be done on any computer!

So much for the computer lesson. But it is part of my overall experience and it is very impressive!

A little more on topic, I did go for a walk today. Ever since that first walk whereupon my legs were somewhat sore upon its completion, I do not suffer any more soreness. The weather here is still so-so, but we'll take walks as the weather allows.

That's about it for today - got to go back and watch a little March madness...
