Diagnosis: Leukemia; October 1, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. I made breakfast for Alex and myself then I had a shower and got dressed. Shirley phoned around eleven o’clock, she said that she was going to drop by if that was okay. Then I talked to Mom and told her that we were going up to the hospital if she wanted to come with us. She said she wanted to go up by herself so we could go out for dinner if we wanted to.

Shirley came around eleven thirty, Charlie arrived back from getting his hair permed shortly afterwards. I made lunch for us, Alex didn’t want what we were having he said that it was yucky. We had grilled cheese sandwiches and Alex had a peanut butter sandwich. Shirley asked me if I would go to a movie with her, Charlie said it was okay with him. We arranged to meet at the theatre then Shirley left so we could get ready to go to the hospital.

We stopped at London Drugs to get a few things. We arrived at the hospital at two thirty. We brought Dad a tin of cookies and my walkman, Mom had brought him some tapes. Dad looks really good, he looks relieved that the surgery is over now. Alex wasn’t too good in the hospital he kept on saying that he was tired. We were in the TV room at this point, I think Alex was more bored than anything. Charlie took Alex for a walk and they came back with something to drink.

We left around four thirty then we went to Shanghai for dinner. After dinner Charlie and Alex dropped me off at the theatre. I didn’t have to wait too long for Shirley then we went inside. We saw “A Fish Named Wanda”, it’s suppose to be the comedy of the year but I thought it wasn’t funny at all. I thought it was pretty stupid!

After the movie Shirley wanted to rent a movie, she thought that way Charlie would have something to watch. We rented “Dark Eyes” which was very slow and boring, Shirley fell asleep through most of it. Tonight was interesting two bad movies!

Shirley left around midnight. I watched TV for a little while then I went to bed.
