"Thanks from Gilly's bottom"
Just to let you all know, Gilly is much more 'with it' today, so he made up the title, and will dictate this message to all of you as we sit here together in the family room:
"I appreciate the fact that I'm getting response. [I asked to what and he means to the blog postings]. I just want to say that I feel great and hopefully I'll be able to get out [when, I asked?] in the next couple of days. If things get any worse I'll let you know. You can definitely visit me. You can definitely call me. My phone is always open [of course he's not always there to answer, now that he's travelling around the ward]. I want to thank you for being supportive."
So as you can tell, today things are looking up in a big way. Gilly is able to complete his sentences now, with short pauses. He is more talkative. He got dressed today and was in sweatpants when I arrived. He feels there's an improvement in his vision, and does not feel dizzy anymore. He walks with much greater balance (still with a walker, but I think for not that much longer). He's in higher spirits overall.
Yesterday, I forgot to mention that Dr. Mohr said the report in the end is that the tumour is considered, for now, a low grade astrocytoma. He will have an MRI in 6 weeks (before he had said 8; is he mixed up or am I ???) and they will determine what to do next based on any changes they may detect.
Gotta run and call Gilly's special cousin Steven right now, because he's waiting for a report. Some people are so impatient, they can't even wait for a blog posting. Really, eh? Just kidding.
More news later.
By the way, Yaron dropped all his courses due to inability to concentrate. I wonder why? If anyone has any ideas about where he can get a job, do let us know. You can even call him. No clue what his cell phone number is. I speed dial! But the house line will do. He needs to be very busy.

Yaron, call me. I spoke to Irving at NEON and he has a job waiting for you.
