That’s the Way the World Goes Round

That's the way that the world goes 'round.
You're up one day and the next you're down.
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown.
That's the way that the world goes 'round.
John Prine

This is a rest day for Roger.  That means no chemo and no treatment, just a day to recuperate and prepare for the big day tomorrow.  He’s feeling a little better and is managing to eat and exercise in spite of having a hangover from yesterday’s drugs.

Here’s something sweet enough to put a smile on our faces today.

 Our son Chris, at home in Santa Fe

The blizzard that stopped traffic and knocked out power from Vancouver and Seattle, through Eastern Washington, Idaho and then Montana is about to hit us here in Salt Lake City.  I don’t know how bad the storm will be, but I brought an overnight bag just in case.  Local newscasters are making dire predictions and hospital staff are chattering nervously about how far they have to drive when their shift is over.  If the power goes out at the apartment, I’ll be better off here at the hospital tonight.  I’m not willing to risk not being able to get here tomorrow.  

Robert – drive safely and make sure YOU get here tomorrow!

  2. How nice that your son is home! For some reason, I was just thinking about that last night. Staying at the hospital sounds like a smart idea.

  3. Yes, it's too bad Chris is not in Salt Lake City, we'd love to see him. It's been too long. He lives in Santa Fe.
