Don: Since every thing that we do in the hospital is based what day number we are on, I write the day # on my calendar. We were supposed to have Day 1 on Tuesday. Like Karen told you already, that didn’t happen. So I make changes to my calendar. For those of you who may be doing the same at home, I hope you aren’t using ink. It is Thursday morning and we are still not in the hospital. They bumped us again. Someone else got a fever and had to be admitted. That may be frustrating for us but could have saved the life of the other person.

They have told us that we will get in today. We hope so but will be calm and wait and see. I have really enjoyed the last two days. I can’t remember the last time that Karen and I spent two days together just by ourselves with nothing to do and not in the hospital. Plus, like she told you, she is feeling good. You don’t have to look hard in any situation to find something negative, but I am here to tell you that if you don’t look for the negative, you will find it easier to enjoy the positive moments in your life.

We will send you another note as things happen. We hope the next one will say that Karen has checked in and started this round.
