Today we are in "hurry up and wait" mode. Tomorrow Ernie should start his last chemo cycle. However, since his white cell count was borderline last week, we are nervous that he may not make the cutoff this week. Unfortunately, we won't know for two or three hours after they draw his blood whether or not he can proceed. We hate to lose a week but, according to the staff, there is nothing Ernie can do to improve his counts. Whatever will be, will be.
To pass the time while we are waiting, I usually answer the many great emails y'all have been sending. That will not be happening for a while. My computer died today so I will have to find another diversion. At least it was not a sudden death. There were an ample number of the "blue screen" occurrences alerting me to significant problems so I was able to get everything backed up and a new computer ordered before it gave up the ghost. My new laptop should be here by the weekend. In the meantime, please forgive the lack of response--it is a pain to write anything but a few sentences on my blackberry.
