I got back to the hospital on Sunday evening to find Carol and her friend Cathy very involved in an intense Scrabble match, so I had to remain quiet until they finish their game. Cathy won that match and she also won the Saturday Upwords game so Carol will have to wait for the next visit to get even.
Monday at mid morning after Carol and I took a short walk (hot and sticky outside) we spotted our friends Sybil and Jay across the street arriving to the hospital so we all walked in together. Sybil brought Carol a yummy spinach quiche she made with her own garden’s spinach and other organic ingredients.
Jay invited me to lunch so we took a ride to Evos, the healthy burger joint around the corner from the hospital and gave Sybil and Carol a chance to have some girl talk.
At our return, the 3 of them took a walk around the USF campus and visited the Student Center for a cool walk and the Contemporary Art Museum for some cool culture.
Jumping into another subject, the results of the blood samples submitted by Carol’s brother Michael and sister Susan revealed that neither of them are a matching donor. Carol was hoping that one of them could have kept everything in the family. The BMT team (bone marrow transplant) is looking into a match from the national bone morrow registry, indicating that locating a donor should not be difficult.
Thank you again for all your calls, cards and emails.

...I am just so thankful that my sister loves me just as much despite the fact that my genetic makeup didn't have enough matching factors, but I still can't believe that that's true!!!! With love from every single one of my thousands of genes, Susan (sister)
