Diagnosis: Leukemia; September 7, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex woke up shortly afterwards. We had a shower and got dressed then we went to the mall to get something to eat and to wash our clothes. We had to go back to put our clothes into the dryer. Then we had lunch in the mall and it was time for us to get our clothes. We came back to the motel. Alex and I changed our clothes to get ready to go to Maureen’s. Alex was really excited about going to see Maureen, he didn’t remember her from before.

We got there after one o’clock. The area sure has changed it doesn’t look the same at all, in fact we got lost.! Eric wasn’t there when we got there but he came about half an hour later. He looks pretty good considering all the medication and trouble he’s been having. Friends of theirs dropped by, she’s 57 and he’s 81, she thought he was ten years younger until someone at the wedding said that he was 69. She apparently was really mad.

Maureen asked us to stay for dinner. I f I had known we would have come a little later. I don’t have a great deal in common with Maureen. I also found that she wasn’t as friendly as the last time I had seen her. Maybe she’s changed or maybe she didn’t know how to react to Alex being sick. People can be very strange.

After dinner Alex said that he was tired, so Maureen said he could lie down on the bed in the spare room.

We left at eight o’clock, Alex was still asleep but I just picked him up and went to the car. Maureen gave Alex crayons and a coloring book which was nice. Alex woke up on the way to the motel. When we got back we watched TV. Alex and I went to bed around ten and Charlie was already asleep snoring away.
