His white count has spiked at 136,000 and his creatinine
count is high. We don't know what the latter means or
what is causing it. His prostate has grown quite a bit, too
and so none of that is good. Fortunately, he feels good and
that counts more than all the tests.
As usual, we went to the VA in the morning, leaving here
about 9:30 AM so Robert could get the labs done before
he would see the doctor at 1:30 PM. After the blood-
draw we went to the Denver Museum of Science and
spent a delightful hour in the Dinosaur exhibit. It was
very well done for both adults and kids. We enjoyed the
videos showing how the research is done to determine
how the bones go together. One particular exhibit was
showing a computer animation on the locomotion of the
dinosaurs showing that the T-Rex could not have run
very fast. He was too big. We didn't finish the exhibit
because we ran out of time. It leaves the museum
January 4th.
The rest of the week has been a quiet one at home. I have
joined Facebook and have spent a bit of time on that
learning what is there and contacting others who are on it.
Most of the grandchildren are on it and they answer messages
sent that way. It is fun.
I have been contacted by Jared Polis' staff and will meet
with Andy mid-January to work out what I'll be doing. Andy's
e-mail said he didn't know what their volunteer program
would look like, but let's get together mid-January and
design a program. I'm looking forward to being involved. I
got really burned out with my volunteer job at the Carnegie.
This is much more my cup of tea, I think. I certainly
support all of the issues that Jared has outlined to date so
I should have no conflicts there.
Robert had a tooth pulled yesterday, a back molar. He seems
to be doing well so far. He is taking ibuprofen for the
anti-inflamatory attributes more than for pain.
