Thursday after the appointment was a little crazy.  We kept having to make trips back and forth between Human Resources at BMC and Dr Mahmood’s office hand carrying information.  We wanted to get to Shands as soon as possible.  Mom and Dad were great, and Don too.  Emily at HR was a super help and got all the right people involved.  We are still calling her regulary from Shands if we need her to make something happen.  Anyway,  They got us an appointment first thing Monday morning, Oct 12.  Mom and Dad got busy finding a campsite to stay at, and Don and I had to wrap up a bunch of loose ends with work and getting our animals taken care of.  Shands told us over the phone to be prepared for a long stay and that we would probably start chemo as soon as a bed was available.
