Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 2:50 PM Subject: T+13, around noon I got the docs okay, and just had my first meal that included veggie burgers and chocolate chip cookies in about two weeks. Even passed up the mousse. Let me explain what I now have ahead of me, even though they are sending me to a class on it at 2 pm. I will spend up to the next 2 months in a 12th floor apartment on Park Ave. (no jokes about the address). If I lived within about 20 minutes of the hospital, I could be going home. However, the farm is a little too far away. The reason for the proximity is so I can come into a clinic every day for a checkup and required meds. There are major advantages of this to me since I will be able to get outside for at least a short time every day, and the apartment has a balcony. I will fill you in on more info after my training session. With some luck, I will fast track through the apartment also, and be back on the farm before Y2K. Dave
