Diagnosis: Leukemia; February 8, 1988

The phone woke me up at eight thirty. It was the hospital they said Dr. S had phoned in sick and she would be in on Wednesday. She had hurt her back. They wanted us to change our appointment form this afternoon to Wednesday morning. I said ok, there’s not much I could say. We have to come in when they say. The lower mainland patients can come in on Mondays and Wednesdays only, the other days are for the patients that live out of town.

I had a shower and got dressed. Then I got Alex dressed and made him his breakfast. We left at 10:15 a.m. for his class.

Marla had phoned earlier to say Lanie didn’t want to go. She asked me if I would tell the teacher that Lanie wouldn’t be back.

Nora phoned before we left, she said Kurt wanted Alex to come over to play. I told her he was going to his class. She said phone me when you get home.

While Alex was in his class I wrote in the journal for an hour.

We came home and I phoned Nora. She said she had a meeting this afternoon. I told her that Kurt could come over. She said she would bring Kurt over before one o’clock.

While the boys played upstairs I went downstairs and cleaned the basement. After I finished I let the boys come downstairs and play. I went upstairs and did the dishes.

Kurt left before four o’clock.

We had dinner before five o’clock.

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

I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
