"Hello, Goodbye" was the first single the Beatles recorded and released after Brian Epstein, the Beatles' long time manager died in 1967. Paul wrote the tune and said it was about everything and nothing. He also said it was his way of showing a positive side when presented with something negative. "You say goodbye, I say hello..." The accompanying violas add something special to the song.
We have been busy of late, we just discovered that I have passed all of the tests I have been taking including a bone marrow and spinal fluid test. I meet with my transplant doctors Monday, and sign the final papers on Tuesday next week. I have some other things that need to be done like implanting another central line catheter. We found a temporary residence to stay in about two blocks from the main Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) building where I will eventually receive daily outpatient services probably in early June. Our son Andrew flies in today to stay a month while he is temporarily laid off, and Mikhael is here for the weekend too. I start three days of outpatient radiation on Friday the 7th, then go to inpatient chemo at the U W Hospital for a few days before the transplant on May 13. Will keep in touch-
I say live happy, Greg
