October 31

Dr. Kanthan, Judy's surgeon, was up to see Judy today. Judy asked for her report card. Dr. Kanthan said she is not going backward; she is moving in the right direction. He also said that Judy is likely going to be in the hospital for another three weeks...not really a surprise given her progress thus far. I will start the week cancelling the appointments Judy had scheduled for November and December. The thoracic surgeon in Vancouver wanted to see Judy for a follow up appointment in early December. That's not going to happen. Judy had a good day today. The Christmas movie was delivered. Many people are just itching to visit Judy, but she is just not even close to being up to visitors. I have taken to videoing greetings on my Iphone and Judy enjoys the video greetings that I play for her. If anyone is interested in emailing a video message to my email address, I will certainly make sure Judy receives the message. RUH also has a service called "Well Wishes". You can send an email message directly to Judy. The hospital makes a hard copy that is delivered to Judy's room. Oh yeah, and I have the painted doors back on the hinges. You can assure Judy that I chose regal "Davenport Tan" over the proletarian "Alexandria Biege".
