From the fingers of Dan: Long time, no typing.

Rule number one: listen to everything Susan says.
Rule number two: Susan is once again the conduit for all back-and-forth information. If you don't have the Internet (read: about three of you), you'll have to wait for your updates by camel back as usual. Step up to the 21st century, please.

My condition is poor and unpredictable. That's why I insist that no one makes any surprise visits (exempting the old TF bunch). Surprise visits do no work with the hospital, and I don't like them. I don't want to throw up on your Barney's parka but...well maybe yes I do...but either way, it's easier for you to give Susan a quick ring. I also expend a lot of energy doing easy stuff like standing. No offense, but I am not going to waste the rest of it talking to you (unless your name is Susan).

Recent summary of my condition:
1) lots of nausea and vomiting
2) complete loss of appetite (I had some Ensure today)
3) lots of physical unsteadiness (I fell down once)
4) I can't even count how many days I have spent in bed

As Susan describes in the chemo regimen, it shouldn't take "too" long timewise, but it's just abother thing to get in the way of finishing this ordeal.

Thanks again to everyone who has expressed their care and well wishes.

Dan
