Day +17

Still feel the same today- had to get platelets and blood - white blood counts continue to slowly (i repeat, slowly) move up a little. Was offered pt and tutoring today - passed on both, thank you . . .

P.S. thank u to: aunt kathleen for gift package and aunt marsha for yankee pants (Eric - the yankee toilet paper would have been nice . . .could have used it today)

Hey Taylor:

We were pleasantly surprised to see you were able to do some bigger blogging at Day +17.

We were desperately waiting for the next chapter in your book. You know, the one that covers the bowel status, suntanning, or other expulsions....

My, my how the days have flown by since our Day +11 entry. We've given a lot of thought to your Yankee-Red Sox dilemma (whining). I personally think you're a bit fuzzy in the head about something and I want to set you straight. For your information, the Red Sox, their fan base, all peoples of CT/MA/ME/NH/RI/VT, as well as you, young man, are ALL YANKEES.
New York/New Yorkers do NOT qualify as YANKEES. There's this little thing called a DICTIONARY. Read it and weep. It says NEW ENGLAND, not New York, not the Bronx, etc. etc. Those New Yorkers were rather AUDACIOUS to SEIZE that title for a baseball team.
So now you can let your hippie pot spa attendants know that you finally SEE THE LIGHT.

KEEP THOSE UPWARD COUNTS COMING STRONG. Bakingly yours, Dusty's Mother

Hey Kiddo,

At least the white blood counts are moving in the right direction. :-) Remember - slow and steady wins the race.

Re Dusty's Mother's comment - I'm always amazed at how many people - who live here mind you - think New York is part of New England. Guess they just don't teach geography like they used to.

Eric - that was my comment that got deleted - for some reason it posted twice at exactly the same time. Weird. Taylor or Ellen must have deleted it. So you didn't miss anything.

Hang in there Taylor - wear those Yankee pants with pride - hopefully they'll turn their season around.

Love,
Aunt Marsha :-)

Kim, It was $20.00 plus shipping.

Taylor et. al., you make me laugh.

Definition for the Aunts and Phil

1) et al.
abbr. Latin.
et alii (and others)

2)Et tu, (Brute)? (et tooh brooh-tay)

A Latin sentence meaning “Even you, Brutus?” from the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. Caesar utters these words as he is being stabbed to death, having recognized his friend Brutus among the assassins.
