dad's back home

Talked to Dad on the phone last night. I hadn't heard from him or Mom on Wednesday, the day they were heading back to Richmond to the Transplant Center. On Thursday evening, then, I tried to call my sister, but her line was busy, so I turned on AIM to see if she were online, which she was. We chatted for awhile, and then I asked her if she'd heard any report from Mom and Dad. She told me they'd gotten back Wednesday night.

So I called Dad; he was very apologetic that he hadn't called me yet, especially since he had said on Tuesday that he would call me back from Richmond when he had some news. They'd gotten in so late Wednesday night, though, that he was too tired to call.

He still doesn't know much more. The doctor drew some more blood, and is going to make more changes to Dad's meds, to see if this can get the white blood count back up where they want it. So we're back to just wait-and-see at this point.

Hi there,

I just stumbled on your website by looking at the updated MT sites. About your dad's health, I don't know what's going on but I'm a great believer in Chinese medicine. I suggest that your dad try some good acupunture as a second opinion. Many times people find relief in acupunture. Just my 2 cents. =]

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
