Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 28, 1989

Charlie and I woke up at six or six thirty. I had a shower and got dressed. I finished putting everything in the suitcase.

Charlie woke Alex up, got him to have a shower and get dressed. Alex said he didn’t want anything for breakfast.

I gave Alex a prize before we left for the long drive. Charlie changed his mind and decided to go to Edmonton anyways.

We left at nine o’clock. The drive wasn’t too bad except I feel queasy at any speed over 49 kilometres. When we got further along I did drive quite a bit. I feel so much better when I do!

We stopped to have lunch, we had made our lunch early this morning.

Alex was getting bored with all the driving but he did have quite a few naps on the way.

Charlie thought we should stay at Valemont but I said we might as well go on to Jasper. That was a big mistake. First of all they were constructing the road so we had to sit there while we waited for the pilot car to take us along. After that I got stopped by the RCMP for speeding. I had been doing close to the speed limit but Charlie had told me I was going too slow. Anyways we finally got to Jasper. We had a bit of a time finding a motel. Most of them were already full. We finally did find one but it cost close to $100 a night. They sure rip off the tourists in Jasper.

After we had a shower we went out to eat. We went to A&W. Alex liked that since he gets to have his FRIES! When we finished eating we walked along the street where all the shops are. A lot of them were closing so we didn’t stay very long.

Charlie wanted to go for a drive but Jasper is so small there really isn’t anywhere to drive to.

When we got back to the motel, Alex took out all his toys. Alex had packed a large bucket of toys. He brought his turtles (of course!), batman, cars in the case, micro cars, workbooks, crayons and COPS. Alex setup the micro machines I had given him.

It sure is hot in the motel and unfortunately there is no air conditioning. There should be for the price.

I went to bed at nine o’clock. Charlie got Alex ready for bed.
