Hi Larry --

Thanks for the upbeat message -- we are pretty well ready now (have to be since we are off to Maine on Tuesday, back Saturday and Barry gets his peg on Monday). I also have a very funny book that I gave my mom when she was in NIH for 12 weeks (leukemia trial) -- Dave Barry -- it's the only thing that made her laugh -- so hope Barry likes it as well.

The oncology nurse suggested a portable DVD player as well (with earbuds) -- at Hopkins it is quite a wait for chemo (probably is everywhere) as they have to check bloods, then release script to pharmacy, mix up chemo and then re-check independently, before send up to infusion area -- and then the wait while the drug is administered. They joked and said they will wait until you've finished the end of your movie <gr>,

Will send private ms. re who your docs were, etc.

Gail
