Dinner w/Bonnie (from Blogger Blodge)

Here is a note from Karen Blodgett, who visited Bonnie on Wednesday evening, along with Ann Marie Nemanich (both classmates of Mike from Tuck):

Just came back from having dinner with Bonnie. Ann Marie came along, too. We brought burgers and fries from a local joint (Bonnie's choice). I know she won't be offended if I mention that she ate more than any of us - she chowed it all down!!! Bonnie was having a great day today - she looks wonderful, the energy and laugh is back in her voice and the sparkle is in her eyes, and she even went walking for the first time in a while.

While we were there her Doctor stopped by - Bonnie later told us he's new this week - he's obviously amused by her and says she doesn't even seem sick. Also called her a "VIP" patient and was teasing her quite a bit about this, and when she mentioned the walk today he said "What walk - you were moving so fast you didn't even have time for me!" Winning over those around her, as usual.

By the way, Ann Marie and I loved this Doctor because he let us drink the beer we'd brought along and failed to hide...! Don't worry, though, Bonnie only drank her Evian. (Tip for future visitors... this is the only water that tastes good to her right now, and she drinks at least a large bottle per day.)

Devon visited today - Isabel still has her viral cough, so isn't allowed. They had their usual fun of snuggling in bed together, playing with stickers and surgical masks, and going down the hall to jump on the chairs in the patient lounge.

Bonnie should be home by early next week - the counts are looking good. We heard the Doctor say so himself!

That's all for now,

Blodge

So, make sure you conceal your beers carefully, and bring plenty of water for Bonnie. Thanks, Karen, for writing.
