Day 11 - The Chinese way
October 1st, 2006
This was to be a very busy day as many businesses would be closed much of next week because of the holiday. The hospital was really busy and I got the full deal: IV, oxygen, acupuncture, and PT. Later, Tony, Tom, and I did a little shopping at Century Mart, where I bought a new pair of pants for a low price.
This reminds me that I haven’t said much about the role of the caregivers and how much time is spent taking care of business. Our day begins early, as has been said several times previously.

I hope all is going well for you. I (and I am sure even Brian) would like to see you walk into a Nebraska vs. Missouri football game with us again soon. As you know, this years game may be for the north title. Hope you have a way of getting the games on TV there somehow, or at least are getting the Omaha World Herald sports page on the web (not sure what the security issues are with the internet there).

Again - I hope the best for you, and your family.
