Dad's blood pressure is down. 122/76 this morning; however, his temperature is rising, but has only risen to normal (37 degrees C, thanks David C. for the conversion formulas). Mom also reports that Dad seems to take a little longer than usual to process information, but I think he might just be ignoring her.
Mom was wondering if Jerry would get a mask to wear after his chemo. treatment, and he did!
Now he can be cool like all the other sick people at the RIBM complimentary breakfast. He only needs to wear the mask when he will be in crowded places, or around sick people, because on about the fifth day after chemo. the immune system weakens dramatically. I guess I'll have to stop making fun of people I see on planes with masks. If I had one, I think I'd draw a little mouth and nose on it. Here's a picture I took on vacation recently of a guy with a mask. I've just been calling him SARS guy. I took this picture surreptitiously at the top of Sydney Tower, because I thought it was funny.Nolie is working on a country song titled "Freezing My Butt Off In the Laundry Room of the Residence Inn on Christmas Day." I think Uncle Dick should direct the choreography for the video. Nolie also has asked if I could teach her how to forward e-mail when I come visit next. No, it doesn't work when I try to talk her through clicking on the forward button, I have to show her.
By the way, for those who are curious, the Visa card was not in the L. L. Bean shirt pocket, so the card as been cancelled.
Merry Christmas, and check out the fancy hit counter I found at the bottom of the page.

Merry Christmas Fooses! I'm so glad I got to chat with Nolie today. She filled me in personally on her newest country song about sitting in the laundrymatt on Christmas Eve. I won't say it over the phone, but I will write it, YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS. I hope you had another scotch after I spoke with you and after your family visit. We'll be in touch soon. Love, Kristen & Glenn
Nolie - You and Jerry are in my prayers. I know how those looooong chemo days are. Jerry is taking the same drugs that Tony took during one of his treatments. He didn't get sick and the cancer took it on the nose for a while! Hang in there and know that your SOL friends are there with you in spirit. Blessings, Cathy Racette
Um, the mask isn't covering SARS Guy's nose. Why bother? Camille Whitworth a/k/a La Camila, Brian's favorite half-second-cousin.
