081312 -    2.  You may know that Mil has been in Europe the past few weeks, on
081313 -        a cruise with her daughter, Pam, daughter-in-law, Kim, and
081314 -        Kim's sister.  She is glad for going, but says the trip has
081315 -        been difficult physically.
081317 -         ..
081318 -    3.  Millie is coming home tomorrow.  I pick her up at SFO 7p.
081320 -         ..
081321 -    4.  The next few weeks will be critical.  If Kaiser supports
081322 -        getting the right kind of treatment from UCSF or others, then
081323 -        Millie may be willing to continue.  She will then be fine for
081324 -        another year or so, if the treatment actually works.  That's a
081325 -        lot of if's.
081327 -         ..
081328 -    5.  I filed a claim today for Mil demanding Kaiser perform its part
081329 -        (the real target is UCSF) so that Millie has choices [reported
081330 -        on 100527 0217, ref SDS 62 IZ7N].  If you feel comfortable
081331 -        asking around the office for ideas on amendments to increase
081332 -        leverage, that would be a big help.
081334 -         ..
081335 -    6.  In any case, just wanted to say thanks for always being there
081336 -        for Millie.  At the darkest hour, your caring and zest for life
081337 -        lift her spirits.
