December 4, 2005 [day 9 of treatment. 4:20 pm]

Had a shower this morning. Glorious! Very out of breath though and am now receiving platelet transfusion.

Mo and Miranda are here and just went to get something to eat. Miranda is proudly wearing an “I love (heart) my Dad” t-shirt. We took a walk around the ward and I showed her the layout and what the various parts of the ward were for.

Mary G. bought me some note cards for me to send out to some of the folks that were involved in my early diagnosis and I plan to send them out as I can.
