First some random thoughts:
- Are we going to the lab too much if the nurse at station 4 says "Good morning Mr. Greiner take your usual seat:?
- Is there a lab or hospital with a loyalty program for airmiles?
-I wonder if Joe Bfstplk * belonged to a support group?

Monica and I have been busy making trips back and forth to Richmond to visit Opa in Steveston and Oma at the hospital. To my non-medical eyes Oma's condition remains more or less the same. We had a chance to watch her try and walk with the hospital staff today. You could see the determination in her face but she could only take about ten steps before she had to stop to rest and catch her breath. It is hard for her to talk too long for the same reason.
Opa seemed not too bad today. Ingo had been with him in the morning. Monica and I took him to the hospital to visit Oma and then had a Greek Salad that I had made for supper.
Monica has been taking naps but otherwise is holding up pretty well. She had a blood test late on Friday but we haven't got the results yet. We have another support group meeting this coming week
The Cancer Agency is running a research project on patients and caregivers who have finished their active treatments. We have been invited (and agreed to) to participate. In addition to being interviewed, we will be participating in a one-day seminar designed to help patients and caregivers through this phase. I think it will be similar to InspireHealth (talks on maintaining caregiver health, goal-setting etc) but I expect it to be a useful reinforcement.
