Did you enjoy the first snow?!

Yeah, it was coming down for a couple minutes--love that.  Couldn't get Lucy out fast enough to go for a walk in the snow.  Next time.  

So the update on Kurt--I had to pull a nurse Ratched yesterday.  He was really down, so I said, "Get your ass out of that chair, we're going for a walk."  "I'm not happy about this," he pouted. "Too bad." He got in trouble last week when he left the floor to go get a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich at the building next door.  He is only allowed to walk on the oncology floor.  Check out his blog for today's events.  Today he slept a lot after his bone marrow biopsy.   I've been trying to keep myself busy while he sleeps, supplying the nursing staff with beaded jewelry.  I should probably work on Christmas cards!

 I'm too tired to keep typing.  Thanks Ray, Julie and Eileen for visiting today.  And of course, his very dedicated, mom, Diane. Bon soir.  Miss you friends. xxoo

Update at U of C

We are waiting for the bad s--t to happen to Kurt when his immune system will be completely wiped out. So far he is okay. It's his sister's last day in Chicago so I will be on the 7-24 hr. shift depending on his days. So if anyone know if he has a girlfriend, that's okay with me...have her drop me a line (janibodell@gmail.com). I'd like to get her on the rotation schedule! And I promise I won't try to run her over or anything psycho like that. If she irons, that would be a plus too.

The Bodell Household

I haven't painted much the past two weeks. Kurt was shockingly whisked away by the University of Chicago Hospital a couple weeks ago, diagnosed with leukemia and has started chemo. So far, so good. He's tired, has flu like symptoms, mimimally eating. We are encouraging optimism. I've taken on some of his duties from picking up dead birds, paying bill, killing big bugs and dragging the garbage cans down to the street on garbage day. I don't plan on driving his corvette. If you want to check in on his progress, please visit kurtbodell.blogspot.com. Thanks. Please keep us in your prayers.
