My list

5 Good things about the hospital
  1. My model nurse (Melodee)
  2. Milkshakes and Ruth's Chriss
  3. Visited by two Mark Howard's in one day
  4. Making everyone wear masks
  5. Being a 24 hour psychologist
5 Reasons why I am jealous of Winn:
  1. Thick flowing mane of hair
  2. His new Q7
  3. His blog comments are better than mine
  4. His fetish for anything Oakley
  5. His dog Diesel

Special congrats to Matt Haugh, Grayson Tressler and Doug Glenn for going bald for me.

5 people I would like to see bald for me.

  1. Aaron Johnson-Brian Griffeth (twins)
  2. Winnfield Greenwood
  3. Skye Tressler
  4. Gary Nish
  5. Ken Kaufman
  6. Andrew Dixon
  7. Rich Kempton and or Cammille
  8. The Silverfox aka Jim Folsom
  9. Izetta Martin
  10. Cecil Jones

The list was too fun so we came up with 10.

Today was the best of days and the worst of days. The laxative didn't work, just lots of gas. Which the nurse says is a good sign. I guess I won't explode. I appreciate the 6 visitors today. Sunday is by appointment only. There is standing room only from 1:00 to 4:00. Sorry Bishop. Church attendance will be low. My leukemia counts keep coming down, so everything is looking good.

Heidi said...

Hey Casey---in response to your list of potential baldies, Andrew had me post a picture on our blog just for you so go check it out---

Craig and Krista said...

Hey Casey!
We are sure glad you are doing well. I wish we lived a bit closer so we could come and check out your temporary home, but at least we have this blog, eh? We will try to drop you a line every so often but we love reading what is going on with you! Tell Lani and the kids hi for us!

Hello Casey...Did the stool softener help on Sunday? Let us know if the hospital runs out again because Patty has a pretty big stash. It was good to see your smiling face even though you couldn't see ours through the mask. Our neighborhood is way too quiet with you in the hospital and your kids in Canada. Lani will have to party hard to make up for all of you. See you again soon!

It was good to talk with you yesterday afternoon. We wish we could have dropped into your "Fiesta Paradise" but with the stomach flu making the rounds in the family you are much better off that we didn't come. I guess we could have blamed any ill effects on the mexican food! Cool Intro page - I'm squinting at the trees in the picture of the St Mary's to see if they still show the scars of being run over by your old Oddesy's many years ago. Do I get credit on the bald thing and I'm naturally 1/2 way there. Todd will dispute the fact when he logs on but he is even closer than me! Hope you continue to do better each day. You are in our prayers.
Brett and one of the other Mortensen Gangs.

Tina Folsom said...

You guys are in our prayers. Hang in there Casey, we all need you healthy & strong. We love you guys and are looking forward to having your kids close by. Christie is anxious to babysit. Good luck with chemo.

Hi Casey
Thanks for the updates on your blog. This is a great idea. I have to say it's my first blog experience. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you and your precious little family. We hope to see you again soon, hopefully out of the hospital. About the hair, I'm hoping to keep what I have, even though I am seeing a few more gray ones (been there done that).
Love, Dawna & family

Hey Casey,

I've never known anyone who could make a hospital stay as fun as you do. If humor and optimism are effectives drugs against cancer, then I'm afraid that you're in danger of an over-dose.

Keep up the good fight!
