This is Pauline, Boone's wife. Every year on or near his birthday, he has his annual physical. His doctor told him that he had "Immature blood cells" and referred him to a hemotologist. To Boone's great surprise when he arrived for the appointment, the hemotologist was an oncologist. They drew blood and the Oncologist, Dr. K, wanted to know why I was not with him. Next visit he said, I better be there. A month later, we went to the appointment. Blood was drawn. Dr. K. said it could be a couple of things, and ordered a bone marrow biopsy. On the 3rd month, we heard the diagnosis of CMML.

February 20, 1983

TWO HOURS AND TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES TO GO

Drinking coffee and typing.  Leukka is in my lap.  Pauline is still in bed.  So are the dogs.  I'll walk them in  a minute.  It'll be one more thing I won't be able to do for a while,  Anybody want to drop by the condo about 7AM and walk them?  I'm sure Pauline would appreciate it.  Probably offer you coffee.   On second thought don't do that.  She would just get up earlier to clean up before you arrived

Robin Roberts return to Good Morning America is on TV.  Just picture, no sound since most of the girls are still asleep.  She has nicer pajamas than I do.  Past that I'm taking it as another omen.

Does make me think of one more thing though.  One more fear.

I'm gonna look lousy bald. If you want to see that you're going to have to come visit.

May post some this evening, may not.  Everything from this point on is a new adventure for me
