BRIEF UPDATE

[FROM SUSAN]

OK, so I got Duke North and South mixed up today, but realized it was because in past visits we parked at South (which I refer to as the "old" hospital  since the new one was being built while I lived at Hanes House), and entered there, but had gone forthwith to the cancer center, which is on the south side of North.  That is still confusing to me, so I'll refer to it as on the old side of the new hospital.  There.

And, after venturing up to the 7th floor (Cardiology) of the NEW hospital, Peter had a cardiac MRI, but we won't get the results until tomorrow.  

Tomorrow, early, Peter will get the "Planning Scan" for the radiation.  Can anyone suggest the best place to park to get to the sub-basement?  I think it is the white zone.

Supposedly he will come home with diagrams on his body.  Tatoos?

Oh, and good news - NORTH has real food and not just a food court.

Some pictures to spice things up:

OLD (SOUTH)




NEW (NORTH)

Thanks for all your concern and expressions of love and care.

  1. Susan, When my sister was getting radiation her joke was that her husband had always wanted to make love to a bald, tattooed woman! Fantasy's do come true! Good news and lots of prayers!

  2. Peter - So glad to get good news about you. I was wondering if you took your guitar to the hospital? Nothing sexier then a man playing a piano or a guitar. It would get you really good attention from the female nurses. Well, I guess you are getting really good attention anyway.
    Thinking of you and your "girls". Had a great visit with two of your girls and they are really special. Love to all.
