Thanks Arlene for doing a search to find this Larry Dog! You will remember that Arlene and Al posed in their Larry jumpers.Travis suggested that as an act of freedom I should take out the clock batteries. Good idea but for two things. The Nurses seem to feel it .........the hospital is not about OUR image of resting it's about THEIR model. Otherwise the food would taste better, the blood would be taken after I wake up, there would be great mattress's, etc. It's just not done.
Bluey is the best, She comes every day, stays for hours and sometimes comes a second time. She is doing laundry every day and rubs creme into me every day. She spents hours talking to me so there is no possibliity that I am watching the clock.......just listening to it.
Health check vitals goods, counts that count are good and the two that are at zero are still there. Now we wait. Mouth still sore but I have Patient Controlled Analgesic so that is really well in control. Food is medicine as it has to chewed to a pulp then washed down, but I do, and it's tasty enough to make it worth while. Butter Chicken for lunch! Who knew! I won't tell you what I had to do with the chocolate cake, custard and glass of 'Ice Break' to get it down but was damn tasty. Got a twice weekly chest x ray by the portable machine in my room, way cool. Slept well. Took two rounds of waking laps. Last of four rounds of mini chemo due tomorrow. Yep they are still killing off my cells even while the new ones are starting. So we wait for engraftment.
Short blog today as Bluey is coming back for Doc Schoozenbootz rounds this afternoon, and I want to fit a nap in. Got two phone calls from Canada, today and yesterday. thanks
more later

Hi Chris,
I am overwhelmed at the rate of expression you are able to control. You seem to be doing very well. I am thrilled with your progress. Keep it up. I only wish I could be there with you. Lots of Love to everyone.
( a note from Marlene - we are trying this on the computer in the library ath the Belcher. Let us see if technolgy really works. )
How great to hear from Mom! Talk about putting your ears on! Technology really seems to be working today!
Much love,
Hey Christo-poly-phase-mer
Guessing Bluey told you your dog has been to the day spa; short back and sides...having difficulty recognising her from Billy so we've left her collar on...how cute! :{)}
Had a minor electrical emergency at the Maboddies resiorthodontics...sorry, I meant residental..no I didn't, I meant residence - anyway we had hot water, kitchen and lights but no sockets hence no computers hence no photo of your cue-ball canine, your depilated doggie, your hairless hound. I will see what can be achieved this evening...might even attempt to convince the savvy stripling of the task.
Oh well must return to the grindstone and try not to watch the clock to much; the constant disappointment is debilitating.
Cheers big ears

CUUUTTTEE! I wonder if there is a person called Larry who we can convince to wear these shirts.
Hmmm....
I had best return to my essay before it starts to hiss and spit at me....
