Diagnosis: Leukemia; January 26, 1988

I forgot to write in January 25 entry that I went to the doctor. By the afternoon the pain in my face was terrible. I couldn’t get an appointment but I was an extra. Alex wanted to come with me, he said he didn’t want to go to Kurt’s house without me. He said he doesn’t like it when I leave home there, he says I take too long.

We were sitting out in the waiting room when Dr. W came out. He came over to say hi, he asked if Alex was coming to see him. I told him I was coming to see him, I had pain in my face. Dr W said just a moment I’m going to talk to someone and I’ll see you in a few minutes. The nurses called us and we saw him right away.

The first thing he said was thank you for your Christmas card. He went on to say that if he had given any help he was glad. He also said you’ve had a hard year let’s hope you have a better year this year.

I thought that was really nice of him to thank us.

Dr. W said I had a sinus infection. He gave me a prescription and I told him we would be back on Thursday. Dr. W said to Alex I’ll see you in three more sleeps. We went to London Drugs and came home.

Alex wanted me to play with him but my face hurt too much.

Now back to January 26.

I woke up at ten o’clock. The pain has decreased quite a bit, my jaw still aches.

We went out to the mall and came home at lunch time.

I played with Alex a little bit in the afternoon. I really wasn’t up to much.

We had dinner after five o’clock. We watched TV after dinner, Alex went to bed at eight o’clock.

I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
