AT0405 -    3.  Just got great news.
AT0407 -         ..
AT0408 -    4.  Could not find anyone to feed Sasha for the trip next week,
AT0409 -        beginning Tuesday.  Pam said she can come by to check on Sasha,
AT0410 -        but not until the weekend.  Janet, next door, fed Sasha during
AT0411 -        the trip in September, but, she will be out of town for
AT0412 -        Thanksgiving. [...reported on 101116 1220. ref SDS 5 4P4J...]
AT0414 -         ..
AT0415 -        Things looked bleak.
AT0417 -         ..
AT0418 -        Thought I might have to cancel the trip.  Then providence
AT0419 -        smiled.  Last Thursday, I was at Costco.  Just by chance Sharee
AT0420 -        was shopping, and introduced herself, saying what a shock about
AT0421 -        Millie, citing her video thanking you for help finding that
AT0422 -        lovely dress.  Sounds like Mil's video made a big impression at
AT0423 -        Kaiser.  Sharee was one of Millie's many nurses in the Chemo
AT0424 -        Clinic.  We did a lot of work together coordinating care, but I
AT0425 -        didn't recognize her "out of uniform."  Sent a letter to
AT0426 -        Arlette saying it was great seeing a familiar face, and getting
AT0427 -        a hug.  Arlette wrote back saying Sharee told her about seeing
AT0428 -        me at Costco and that I looked a bit "lost".  Arlette also
AT0429 -        mentioned difficulties with poor laundry facilities at her
AT0430 -        apartment complex.
AT0432 -         ..
AT0433 -    5.  This morning, I sent her a letter saying she could use our
AT0434 -        washer dryer, and mentioned needing someone to feed Sasha next
AT0435 -        week. [...reported on 101116 1450. ref SDS 6 JE9U...]
AT0437 -         ..
AT0438 -    6.  Just returned from the VA and there was a letter from Arlette
AT0439 -        saying she will do it.  So, looks like the trip to Connecticut
AT0440 -        is still on. [...reported in the record for 101116 1450,

AU0402 -    8.  At the VA this afternoon, talked to Iris and Kendall.  They
AU0403 -        said the VA used to provide transportation for patients in my
AU0404 -        situation, but stopped about a year or so ago.  Had hoped I
AU0405 -        could just hang out after the procedure for a few hours and
AU0406 -        then drive home, but they said the VA won't let them start the
AU0407 -        procedure unless the patient produces a designated driver in
AU0408 -        advance.  So, tomorrow morning I will drive into the city and
AU0409 -        set up the EGD procedure at the Medical Center sometime next
AU0410 -        month.  As mentioned, I can stay overnight there and drive
AU0411 -        myself home the next day.  That's the current plan.

AV0402 -    9.  There is slightly increased concern about a-fib.  Saw a
AV0403 -        television commercial yesterday saying "atrial fibrillation"
AV0404 -        (a-fib) can cause stroke.  Of course they were selling stuff,
AV0405 -        but makes touching base with the CT surgery team seem more
AV0406 -        urgent.  I called Karen in Cardiology to facilitate
AV0407 -        communication, but she has not called back.  So, "If the
AV0408 -        mountain will come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the
AV0409 -        mountain."  Tomorrow will try to get feedback on this issue.
