Things that are happening other than Rich's problems getting hospital wifi

Rich, you're so funny.

Anyway, for those of you who'd like an update on what's going on other than Rich's connectivity travails:

Yesterday we went to CPMC in San Francisco to get a second opinion, which turned out to be the same as the first opinion. Apparently the regimen for this kind of lymphoma has been used successfully for decades and Rich would get the same treatment anywhere in the world.  So we opted to go with treatment closer to home instead of in SF or Stanford, although if there are complications further down the line, we can always pursue other avenues.

Rich will be at Alta Bates Summit in Oakland until some time early next week.  He's undergoing a battery of additional testing today and will start chemo today or tomorrow. My understanding is that it's just one day of chemo for this round, but they want to keep him around for a few extra days just to keep him under observation.

He will probably want visitors at some point, but not quite yet.  Stay tuned.

One day of chemo? Sheesh. That's nothin. Rich'll be geekin' out in no time!
