So, here we are at the University of Michigan Cancer Center. Tommy is having his first "infusion" (sounds like a fancy tea, doesn't it?) and I'm loving the hospital's WiFi. Today is a long day, since a new port had to be installed. Consequently, we are treating ourselves to a hotel in Ann Arbor and tomorrow more treats: a movie! Last week we saw "Moneyball"; we love any movie about baseball but throw in Brad Pitt and a field we know...can't get much better.
The next chemo is 18 October, the third on 8 November, and then a CT scan to see how things are doing. In the mean time, I'll go to Panama on 24 October to get some admin stuff done and bring back winter clothes. A Michigan winter...ugh...ugh...ugh...the last time this chica was in winter was more than 25 years ago...ugh...ugh...ugh...
It is now college football season here. The University of Michigan team has won four straight, but the real tests are yet to come. Since TV at the farm is minimal (until Donald and Sarah spend more time here), we find different locations to watch the games. Last week was the Zukey Lake Tavern; we may go there again this week although the Gregory Pub beckons, too. I have always been fascinated how the Michigan alumni never ever stops rooting for Michigan...despite being out of school for years and years and years.
Speaking of the University of Michigan: when Tommy was in school here, he once visited the hospital for some minor problem. Fifty years later (i.e., this year) when we went to the first doctor, whose office was a part of the University Hospital system, Tommy's records were pulled up immediately! Can you imagine how many old records are in the system?
Time to go...
