Houston, Day #2

We spent the morning at the hospital, waiting, and seeing various nurses and doctors. We got home about 1:30, and just "hung out" the rest of the day. Ken goes back in the morning for the biopsy procedure, and then will recuperate the rest of the day after that - and probably most of the weekend, too.

MDAnderson is overwhelming - many multistory buildings, spread all over everywhere with, unfortunately, patients and staff scurrying around. I say 'unfortunately' because all of these patients have cancer. Amazing things are happening here, though. I'm glad they're here for all of us. Ken was asked if he would participate in a research project. Of course, he agreed - and was suprised to hear that maybe half or more of those asked, refused to participate. You'd think people would be thrilled to know anything in their disease or treatment could be of help to someone else. But I guess not.

And basketball started up again tonight. Looks like the Men Vols weren't able to keep up their run in the tournament. They lost to Louisville tonight. Still, they've done better than ever before. Congratulations to them for getting this far.

I'm still on a borrowed computer, so no photo again today.
