Hi from Mo

Hi everybody,

Thought I'd come out of my blogging exile to say hello. Bob is watching Mel Brooks' History of the World, which does nothing for me, and furthermore I'm forced to tape Inspector Jericho on Mystery tonight. BTW does anybody out there watch this? I missed the conclusion of the first episode that was on 2 weeks ago...it was about a man who was kidnapped. If you caught the ending,could you let me in on whodunit?

As Bob said he had a restful day. Can't remember if he told you or not, but he's going to CMMC tomorrow for blood and platelets, as his last hgb was down a little at 8.2. The platelets held up pretty well though...they were still 29,000 3 days after an infusion, so Dr. Luger felt that he could wait until tomorrow and get everything at once. I expect he'll be there for quite a while, as they don't run these things in anywhere near as quickly as they do at HUP. His white count was 2.8 last Thursday, and the neutrophils were over 500, so that's why she gave the go-ahead for eating out. Maybe sometime this week, since he's getting tanked up tomorrow.

Meg and I made a Costco run today, and once again I have to sing her praises. We ended up w/ a trunk and back seat full of goods. Also made stops at Best Buy and Walgreens, as Costco never seems to have everything I need. Anyway, I'd still be unloading the car and putting stuff away if it wasn't for Meg trekking it to the basement and 2nd floor. So thank you, Megan. In addition to the scale we also needed a digital thermometer to keep a check on Bobs' temps. He hasn't had any fevers at all since we've been home, thank you Lord. Now, we have a glass thermometer, but all the visiting nurses look at it like it's a prop from the Flintstones....a glass thermometer??? Don't you have a digital? You really should have a digital. Soooooo, now we have a digital. Unfortunately the scale is also digital, so I fear there's gonna be some brain-work involved to set the thing up. At any rate, we are now well stocked in TP, clorox handiwipes, windex, toothpaste etc. etc., and I shouldn't have to go to Costco for many mos.

Just a few comments to some buds.....Jax and Con, it was so good to hear from you. Were your ears burning, cuz I just said to Bob the other day that we hadn't heard from you guys in a while.......MDF, ooh, big burn (as Kate would say) from Eileen....Who is this Bonds? That really hurt didn't it? I was lol when I read that.....and speaking of burn, Kim, what, did you get a nap the other day so you could stay up til after 10p to watch CSI and write on the blog???.......Happy Anniversary to Holly and Tom S. Hope you guys had a nice weekend. Did you go to AC? I'm going to stop in at MSC tomorrow when Bob's getting his blood and platelets. I really miss you guys.....Cozz, that wedding story was too funny. But how about the one that's a little closer to home?...your son-in-law to be coming down w/ appendicitis a few days before the wedding....and you, his future father-in-law taking it out? Bob reminded me about that. Talk about "nice try".
......And I just want to say Hi to sweet Brenda H. Your blogs are so darn cute and sweet. Your loving personality comes thru in every word. As Jessie says about Bob and I, I can hear your voice when I read them....and lastly, I too want to say hi to all the Khouris and Teklitses. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and that everything came off smoothly today. And we definitely need pictures of Emma and Christian with their Mom-Mom.(that's Deb T.) And speaking of Deb, I just want to ask for some stepped up prayers for her, as she goes back into HUP tomorrow for her 3rd round of consolidation chemo. Keep your spirits and your pecker up Deb.

Well! That was a lot of words, but Bob didn't use many today, so I'm claiming what was left of his quota.As always, thank you to EVERYBODY for all the kindnesses you continue to show to Bob and I. We are truly so appreciative. And please continue to remember us in your prayers.

Love, Mo
