and it goes on...

the diarrhea that is.
Yep, I can see your thought bubbles over your heads, "why is she writing this? too much information!"
but hey, folks this is reality and I guess I'm just callin em' as I see em' as they say.

So, more of the D word last night, a slow down today and then when I just talked to her nurse, tonight, it's (D) is back again.
She's just not getting a break on this one.
She got a unit of red blood cells today as well as platelets and also is still running a fever. So it goes on.

She's toughing it out and hopefully getting some sleep in between all of this all-nighter action in the john.

Am going to post the most hilarious email that my wonderful friend Lara sent to me today.
It's of Jewish Haiku.
I know my mom and dad will get a good laugh from reading this when they tune in...
Thank you Lara for brightening my afternoon!

Jewish Haiku

Lacking fins or tail
The gefilte fish swim with
Great difficulty.

-----------------

beyond valium,
Peace is knowing one's child
Is an internist.

On Passover we
Opened the door for Elijah
Now our cat is gone.

____________________

After the warm rain
The sweet smell of camellias
Did you wipe your feet?

____________________

Her lips near my ear,
Aunt Sadie whispers the name
Of her friend's disease.

Today I am a man.
Tomorrow I will return
To the seventh grade.

------------------

Testing the warm milk
On her wrist, she sighs softly.
But her son is forty.

-------------------

The sparkling blue sea
Reminds me to wait an hour
After my sandwich.

--------------------

Like a bonsai tree,
Is your terrible posture
At my dinner table.

--------------------

Jews on Safari---
Map, compass, elephant gun,
Hard sucking candies.

--------------------

The same kimono
The top geishas are wearing:
I got it at Loehmann's.

--------------------

Mom, please! There is no
Need to put that dinner roll
In your pocketbook.

--------------------

Seven-foot Jews in
The NBA slam-dunking!
My alarm clock rings.

--------------------

Sorry I'm not home
To take your call. At the tone
Please state your bad news.

----------------------

Is one Nobel Prize
So much to ask from a child
After all I've done?

-----------------------

Today, mild shvitzing.
Tomorrow, so hot you'll plotz.
Five-day forecast: feh

---------------------

Yenta. Shmeer. Gevalt.
Shlemiel. Shlimazl. Meshuganah.
Oy! To be fluent!

--------------------

Quietly murmered
At Saturday Synagogue services,
Yanks 5, Red Sox 3.

---------------------

A lovely nose ring,
Excuse me while I put my
Head in the oven.

--------------------

Hard to tell under the lights.
White Yarmulke or
Male- pattern baldness.

Love, Kathleen
