Missing Cho
By JSP
The end of the week has arrived. I am certainly happy to have the next two days off of work so as to focus more on the task of getting JayBee out of the hospital. This evening JayBee is resting, and has the company of quite a few people. Several sisters have spent time here today as well as his folks. The room is pretty full right now as we try to comfort JayBee through these last few days of treatment.
Generally JayBee's condition worsens towards the of the treatment cycle. He is more fatigued and his vitals are more perturbed. A number of people have called or written regarding visiting JayBee. He feels pretty uncomfortable generally, so if anyone wants to visit please be prepared for a relatively unresponsive JayBee. He does know of the thoughts and wishes being shared for him and appreciates that. I will try my best to get to the messages and phone calls regarding the status of JayBee.
Tonight Margaret Cho performs at the Orpheum in downtown Minneapolis. I had purchased tickets hoping that both of us could see her. Sadly JayBee is here in the hospital again. In his place I am taking his little sister Julie. We leave shortly, trying not to feel guilty enjoying this pleasure while JayBee wallows through the IL-2 doses. Julie and some of her friends came to Philadelphia to see Margaret Cho when JayBee and I were still living there. And JayBee and I saw her at Northrop Auditorium on the U of MN campus about a year ago. Looking forward to the show.
Thanks again for all the calls and e-mails of support as they are being related to JayBee daily.
UPDATE:
Julie and I had a wonderful time at the Margaret Cho concert. It is really fun to see the crowd, thousands of gay, lesbians and fag hags. Margaret was on target as usual, with vulgarity, pop culture and activism...all of which was hilarious. We even saw a bunch of the Orange Crush soccer players who all sent their wishes JayBee's way.
