Diagnosis: Leukemia; February 25, 1989

I woke up at eight o’clock. I had a shower, got dressed and had breakfast.

We left to pick Mom up to go to the hospital. Since I’m writing this in May I’m quite vague about what went on today. I think this was the time Dr. F had decided that Dad would have to have his foot amputated. When we got there Dad told us that another doctor had suggested he have his nerves cut for his foot. When they cut the nerve it helps the vein or artery to heal or make new veins. Mom didn’t take the news very well. She was almost annoyed that the doctor had suggested such a thing. She told Dad you were all set for the amputation and now you won’t be having it? Dad said he would rather try every alternative first before having his foot amputated.

Alex and Charlie had gone somewhere, it’s too hard for Alex to bed quiet for very long.

They came back around three o’clock. We all left shortly afterwards. We dropped Mom off, she didn’t want to get anything to eat.

We went out for dinner then we came home. Alex went to bed at nine o’clock. I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
