I didn't say a lot about Sun King, my last post. It is an integral part of the medley of songs on side 2 of the Abbey Road album, recorded in 1969. Mean Mr. Mustard was recorded to follow Sun King immediately. Abbey Road's side 2 did that with eight songs as a matter of fact. When asked about my favorite Beatles song I sometimes say Here Come's the Sun, (song 1 of side 2 but not part of the medley...) sometimes it is The End, if allowed I would say Abbey Road's side 2 medley which starts with You Never Give Me Your Money and ends with The End. Mean Mr. Mustard was a John song that he said he wrote on the quick after seeing a story about a miser while the group was in India. I won't disagree with John, it is a simple song but works well in the middle of the medley.
To follow up Sun King from this past weekend it works for my medley too!
I was hospitalized on my first day of complete freedom from work Saturday June 4. Since then I have had quite a few blood tests, x-rays, C.T. scan, a pulmonary scope (like a vcr cable down your nose into your lungs) and a bone marrow biopsy. I had fevers that were not going away coupled with some strange leg/thigh pain, almost like a charley horse. The C.T. showed unexplained patchy areas in my lungs. Yvonne has been a champ as I am sure my grumpiness level has increased with each new day in the Hospital. I finally got some good news last night that early indications show my bone marrow is 100% clear of the bad blast cells. There will be a follow up much more detailed report in a week or so... So far the blood infection concern is coming up blank, this could be another case of they just don't know. In the meantime, this graphic, at times funny cartoon is not meant to be anyone in particular, more of a metaphor on what kind of person we should not be. I know I am considered a cheapy-cheaperson, I am finally learning to get rid of that moniker. Please bear with me!
Updated June 11: I was released from St. Joseph's Saturday morning. Am home for the first time in 8 days, feel much better but still unsure of what pneumonia I had. Mikhael is home for a bit, we will be making the best of a cloudy day. :)

Sorry you had another hospital stay. I bet you will be glad to get out of there. For all medical science does know, there's a lot they still don't know.
Love, Cathy
will try to drop by if they don't kick you out first.
Continued Prayers
Hank
They started two new antibiotics tonight, still a little feverish- so I know I will be here for at least two more days, that's if they get it figured out.
Are you still in the immune compromised section
yes Hank
Greg, sorry about your fevers.They should get something figured out soon.Try and eat to keep your strenght up. A helpful message from your loving dad. Love Dad and Alice
One difficult thing about getting older is realizing there's always a mean mr. mustard side to every here comes the sun. Very bummed to hear the fevers are still there and you are having to go through some painful tests, etc. Tube down the throat sounds very rough. Cathy is right-so much we still don't know. The biggest question, as always, is why.
We are sending good thoughts and strength. You, two hang in there. You'll be home soon.
love and prayers, Mary D. and Big A
Thanks M and A. At least I was moved to C quad and a suite which overlooks the bay and downtown Tacoma. Nice neighbors, but I admit I miss the farm sounds coming from sheepwoman. I still go over to A quad to visit and she usually welcomes me with a nice baaaaaa. Greg
Yes, I am still in the hos[ital, feeling better and hoping for a release this weekend. Happy weekend to all!
Hope you made it home today, I know how much you enjoy hospital food. This was Rose Festival weekend,sunny and 70 with no rain yet, still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Thinking of you both. phil
I made it home Saturday, I am looking forward to some improvement for sure. Phil, I hope the Rose Festival went well, isn't there more than just a weekend?
I hope you are outside enjoying the sun!
Greg, did you know Cathy was in the hospital again ? Trouble breathing and pnemonia in her other lung . Love Dad and Alice
