Diagnosis: Leukemia; June 25, 1989

I woke up at eight o’clock. I could hear Charlie and Alex getting ready to go. I explained to Alex that he had to stay with Charlie and Mitch. He had to hold their hands. Alex said I know already! I said well I don’t want to hear that you got lost. Alex said okay, okay.

They left before nine o’clock to pick up Mitch and then go to the Dragon Boat races at Expo.

After I had my breakfast I gave Kelly his pill and had a shower. Shirley phoned when I was getting out of the shower. I didn’t bother answering it since I knew the answering machine was on. By the time I got out of the bathroom the phones was ringing again, this time I was able to get it. We had planned on meeting for lunch today. Shirley wanted to go to Knight and Day in New Westminster but I wasn’t up to it today. First of all I have to take my blood, and secondly I had such terrible pains last night in my abdomen I just feel I’m not up to going very far. We decided on White Spot.

I watched the end of the video then I got ready to go. I went to London Drugs to buy more strips then I went to White Spot. I couldn’t see Shirley’s car so I went to the other White Spot in Coquitlam. Then I saw her car at Lougheed and Dewdney Trunk, so I had to turn around and go back. What a time I had!

Shirley’s friend Aimee was there as well with her son Dan. They said they wanted to have a BBQ tonight. I said I didn’t know what time Charlie and Alex would be coming home, so I would phone her later.

Bt the time I got home I started to have pains in my lower abdomen. I realized that I had eaten a double portion of starch. I did my blood test and it was at 8.6. I did it again in half an hour but it was still the same. I then exercised which seemed to help quite a bit.

Mom asked u to come for dinner, we went down before five o’clock. I had talked to Shirley earlier and told her I wasn’t up to a BBQ tonight. There would have been four other kids there and that would have been too much for Alex. He was really tired when he got home.

While I was having dinner, I was still experiencing sharp pain in my lower abdomen. After awhile the pain went away. I t seemed when I ate protein it helped.

We came home at ten o’clock. Alex had a snack and got ready for bed.

I had my snack and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
