Yesterday was an unusual, and busy, day.  I spent the day with dad at Clara's, while Clara went to play bridge with her friends. We had a couple of stops we had to make.  First his new doctors office for his primary care physician.  The we went to the second doctor's office and had the stitches removed from his left shin area from his coffee table gash two weeks ago.  His leg looks really good, and the doctor did a great job.  Then we went my Woodwind and did a few chores and visited with his realtor.  About 1pm, we headed bach to Clara's and ate some lunch.  By then the stock market was in the middle of it's huge downslide.  It was down about 270 points.  He went and took a nap, while I got some work done.  I hadn't had much time in the morning. After about an hour and a half nap, he woke up, and we watched the Dow dropp another 240 points to close at -512.  Fortunately, I convinced him to move a lot of his holdings out of the market and into MM Funds. I had done the same the day before.  Clara got home, around 4:15 and we visited for awhile, and I left about 6pm.  It seems his chemo is doing well.  He's awake and around a lot more than in the past few weeks.  Next week is very important as he goes in for EEC, ECG and Catscan to see what he's looking like.  We should be able to see if the chemo is doing well or not.  And that should help decide what his plans will be for the next several months.  I will let you know next week.
