December 28
After a fitful and apprehensive day of waiting in the hospital they started my chemo at 10:00 PM. As it turned out it was an excellent night; other than having to wake up and use the bathroom hourly. We are in a double room giving us more space and since I am in quarantine I am the only patient allowed in the room. The nurses were great and allowed Kath to use the second bed and stay the night with me. My hopes are that I will feel this great for the rest of my stay and I hope my good aura carries over to the Beaver football team and they are able to have a good night also. Thank heavens my daughter rescued me this morning and brought doughnuts because the food is anything other than delicious. For dinner my wife and Tiff are going to rescue me again and get take out. The nurses say I am being spoiled, but I figure I deserve it, as does my family :). They have changed my treatment and are going to be giving me the chemo at a slower rate this time which means I could be here through Monday or Tuesday. This is worth it if it treats me this wonderfully and I have my lovely wife to look at every day and at least I don't have to drink my own pee like Bear; right BC? Thanks for all of the comments yesterday, they really helped me when I was feeling down.

Ron and Kathy,
Ok I've already sent one comment that hasn't shown up so now I'm trying again!!! I had no idea that you had two sets of twins Kathy. What a woman you are!! I see by the new picture that Michael has a twin also. Looking good Ron. Nice buzz cut!! I hope round 2 is a smoother ride. Can't believe that you rode the tram (and twice at that). Good for you to overcome your fears. Rumor has it you ate a pepper on a pizza also. Amazing!
We're thinking of you....babysitting the grandpuppy so Tiff can be with you.

That's great news about how well the first night went! I'm glad that they could finally get you a room - maybe it wouldn't have been so difficult to find one if you hadn't specifically asked for a suite with a heart-shaped jacuzzi tub at the end of the bed though! I don't need to remind you to stay positive - you seem to have cornered the market on that, bud...but it is very encouraging to me to hear that things are going better than you might have expected. I'll be thinking of you while I'm watching the Beavs take care of business tonight against Maryland! Car
Well, it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't overwhelming, but a win is a win, buddy! I sure was proud of Bernard and love to watch that Rogers kid play! I hope that you were able to coherently watch and enjoy the game tonight and that you are continuing to tolerate this session well...as always, I'm thinkin' and prayin'!

Ron, Your positive aura worked. Go Beavs! Keep up the hard work. (44 laps? Sheesh)
