remember - don't forget

what a pleasant night - slept about half of it, and the rest i spent thinking - amazingly content and comfortable.

sunday am picked up ben kilsby from his hotel, went to java house - saw old friends there - havent been there for some weeks - it was very good - and i liked the cafe mocha - yea -taste is back.
jeff wilson called on phone there also.

we have a great plan now for global eidomics - i am very happy about this as it will be transformative for health care.

award came yesterday for me from the national institutes of health -nice.  i was meant to get it in washington, but couldnt - i really liked the group we worked with over the last several years and will always be indebted to them.

milan sonka came by  - he has been in europe for 3 weeks - had a brief chat.  funny no back pain last night, but a fair bit today.  cant sleep in the hospital bed on the ground level, so i get people to help carry me up stairs - milan did so tonight. so last 3 nights visitor from minnesota (farnia), visitor from adelaide (kilsby) and milan is originally czech republic.

will look for others to do the carry through the week.

gary hunninghake came by for a visit - we had a great chat about some new therapy for emphysema and other stuff.

getting some muscle loss from the dexamethasone, and not eating much except ice cream and some fruit (and fruit pies).

bev hanson called per phone, as did mum.  alan ross called, he will come over tomorrow night.  talked with eman and jacqui per phone in boston - they are ding well as expected and a couple more papers are coming.  will talk to mel suter tomorrow.

i get very tired, and still breathless with exertion, but still making the most of time i think

bec and cam and declan still here, they leave back to kansas city on the morning.  very nice to have them here.  already slept for a couple of hours tonight, back pain a bit annoying.

i continue to be over whelmed by the love and humanity shown to chris and myself by all of you.  its very humbling, but eases the pain of today and the road ahead.

will post the back log of photos tomorrow.  Saturday night group at our house in photo.
