I got a good night's rest. Actually, I haven't slept well for years so now is no different. But I did sleep well last night so that makes me very happy. I don't like being tired.

Today is the day I wait for the phone call from IU. I have the home phone in my pocket so I will not miss the call and I will not leave home. That probably seems stupid to be so tied to a phone--about like a teenage girl waiting for a call from a boyfriend--but this call will help ease my stress. It is hard waiting to find out when the surgery is. I can't make any plans till I know for sure. I need to make arrangements with Bonnie and clients and most importantly, I need to know the stage of cancer and any treatments.

Denny rode his bike to work today for the first time. He loves the bike. I teased about looking like PeeWee Herman. You remember that perve? Dad is not peewee. He looks so young and hip with his helmet and backpack.

I wrote sue and sal a letter today. I sent the same letter addressed to both of them asking for their medical history. I gave them mine and told them about the cancer. Its weird but I've always viewed myself as the smart, healthy, well-adjusted one in the family. Now its 2 out of 3. I've joined the ranks of sickly sue and sal. At least I can laugh about that.
