Requests

Nothing new today, but I'm on my "high" energy week. John is coming tomorrow to take me to my appointment with Dr. Stoeckle (surgeon) so that gives Ann a break from being taxi driver!! She's still responsible as cook, though! Our friends Sue and Bill Foster brought over dinner and man, was it good. We loved that fresh fruit salad -- and all the rest!!

Tomorrow, two members of Tech's Personnel department are coming to the Rhudy's to discuss the Family Medical Leave program with me. My request should be approved within 48 hours, and an email will be sent university-wide that I am in need of leave donations. When you receive the email, if you are a State employee, would you please consider donating Annual Leave to me? I cannot ask for donations once the email is sent. I sure would hate to go Leave-Without-Pay! Faculty should check with their departments as Tom can donate leave, but Daddy cannot, so it must have something to do with status.

Thanks to 5 generous people, I have received that many units of blood and may need more after each chemo treatment. If you are not a regular blood donor, would you please consider donating? Ann said it only takes about a hour. I have O-positive and was told one can donate blood specifically for me. If I don't need it, it will go to the next person who does.

I hope everyone is doing well otherwise. I miss everyone and hope to see you soon!
