Day Twenty

It's a "stay inside and chill" day.  Lord knows mom needs it.  I'm going to keep putting bottles of water in front of her all day as her veins are starting to misbehave.

I got my stomach shot (stimulates white blood cells) this morning from Jackie.  Will get another one tomorrow so my blood can be harvested again on Tuesday.  I put on Jackie's pain patch for her.  Everyone really pitches in and helps each other around here.

Hope you enjoy your Satuday.  We'll enjoy our Sunday.   :-)

Day Nineteen

Saturday, 1/9/10, 7:45pm... 

Mom to clinic at 8:30am for gene vaccine shot. 

Scoff at being told I get another stomach shot tomorrow.

Flag down taxi like crazy American to hotel.   

Walk up hill to pick up laundry. Keep scarf from freezing to face.

Skype with beautiful family.

Take fruit to Erika in hospital.  Get trampled entering elevator.

Erika in physical therapy.  Leave fruit with daughter.

Have lunch at Paris Baguette, which does not sell baguettes.

Get on 2:00pm hotel shuttle to planned spot, Myeong Dong.

Takes us instead one hour away to Dongdae Mun.

We're happy the weather report said today would be 30 degrees and sunny!

Fog settles in, temperature plummets and starts to snow.  A frown is a smile upside down.

Shop in Dongdae Mun's "Good Morning City", which is huge!

Flag down taxi like crazy American to hotel.

Pray the taxi driver finds his way to hotel.

Taxi arrives and lets us out across street from hotel for dinner at Outback Steakhouse with Debbie.

Travel across bridge to hotel.  Keep scarf from freezing to face.

Arrive safe and sound.

Astonished by mom once again.
