Surgery March 20th

Well, I finally have something to report. I talk to Nolie almost every day, but there hasn't really been any new news. The only interesting thing Nolie had to talk about was the Mysterious Neighbors at the RIBM. They always had their Do Not Disturb sign displayed, and would never let Housekeeping in to service the room--ever--for a couple of weeks. It turns out they were just paranoid about germs, which is totally understandable, as the husband just got a new kidney. My guess would have been Meth Lab. When Nolie first told me about them, I thought it could be hookers, but hookers don't hang out for weeks at a time. Meth Labs do. I think it is so rude to check into a hotel and build a Meth Lab. It takes so much longer to clean up a Meth Lab room than a Business Person room, and it can really mess up your productivity. No Room Attendant, ever, could clean 18 rooms in eight hours if one of them is a Meth Lab room. Nolie has since made friends with the Kidney Wife, who is in her fifties and has an identical twin who visits. The twins sometime dress the same.

Jerry had his last round of chemo last week, and is now home in Arlington recovering. He will return to M. D. Anderson on March 12th for pre-op work, and then have the cancer and bladder surgically removed on March 20th. From what I understand it is a very lengthy procedure, involving a lengthy recovery time. I believe Nolie said he will be in the hospital for ten to twelve days after the procedure.

The Schnauzers are very happy to see Jerry again.
