Diagnosis: Leukemia; October 14, 1987

I woke up after eight o’clock. I’m in agony, my back is worse today. The lower part of my back is really tight.

I made breakfast for Alex and myself. Then I made Nanaimo bars for Alex. I had told him I would make him some.

Then I had a shower and got dressed. I didn’t do much since my back hurt so much. I took a couple of panadol, it was getting so painful. I took Alex to his cooking class. While he was in his class I went to the mall.

I picked Alex up at 2:30 p.m., he sure is enjoying his class. We went to Toy City afterwards then we came home. Alex fell asleep at five o’clock. I woke him up which made him really mad. He calmed down after fifteen minutes. He had dinner, I didn’t feel like eating anything.

After he had dinner we watched TV and played a game of fish. I got him ready for bed.

I watched TV, did my knitting and wrote in the journal. I’ll be going to bed soon.
