We left home this morning about 8 a.m. Stopped at Kemmerer for gas where its about the best price between home and Salt Lake. Stopped again in Evanston and got the things we needed on my Walmart list. Pushed my own cart again and Debbie pushed hers. So was able to actually shop, put things into and out of the cart at the checkout. We got down to Salt Lake some time after noon and had lunch at Fridays. I made a good discovery, that I could have a turkey burger with the trimmings on a whole wheat bun and it wouldn't be fatty beef. It was actually quite good. As we came into our hotel, The University Guest House, Greg and Linda were sitting in the lobby/lounge area and I visited with them for a while. He must be into about his third week of chemo and radiation together. I just can't imagine his bravery going through all that he has. He got a box of photos he had taken on his 6 week trip to Alaska to show us. What a trip he had. He says he loves it up there. Another artist Erin from Wilson who I had not met before, had driven down to meet them and Greg said she is a good artist. She seemed like a nice person.
We got to our rooms about four p.m. and rested about an hour. I called Joe to let him know we got here o.k. Curtis, Tayler and Beverly got on their way from Vegas about one p.m. to meet us here. They should be arriving soon now. Beverly and I will share a room. Debbie and I walked over to the Peterson Heritage Center, where there is a big campus dining hall and got some dinner. Lots of college kids, so was interesting to see what that world is like. All the hospitals are on the University of Utah, including the Huntsman Cancer Hospital and Institute. My appointment for the checkup with Dr. Mulvihill is at 10 in the morning. Then we will have the day together. I'll let you know what we find to do.
Well, my laptop is wireless here and I'm finding I don't know enough commands with the little finger pad to do all I can with the regular mouse, so will have more learning to figure that out.

Lynn: I called your house today to wish you a happy birthday. Talked to Joe. Had no idea what's going on. I'm so sorry to hear all you have been through. I appreciate your blog and hearing all the details. I just know you're doing all the right things and will be home soon. I'm glad to hear that you've had so much support for friends and family; wish I could be there to help as well.
Sending lots of love and healing thoughts.
