I have Robert settled in his "KING" size bed. We arrived in Rochester about 12:30 p.m.He wanted steak so we stopped at Out Back Steak and he did eat most of his steak. I finished it off.There is no free internet at our hotel so I walked down to the GRAND KAHLER to use this one. Couldn't beleive ours didn't have one. Oh, well, I'll probably be to busy to use it anyway the next two days.Guess I'll go back and either pay bills and get things caught up or start reading a good book that my friends from Edward Jones sent to me. "Keeping Faith" by Jodi Picoult.It is overcast and cool here. About 57 degrees. I'm not a cold weather bird so I don't like it, but I'd better get use to it if I'm going to be here in Dec.....Hope to see everyone soon when we get home for more than a few days.I'm ready to get back to some kind of a norman schedule.Love and prayers,Rox Posted by Roxie to Robert Berning at October 5, 2008 3:19 PM

Glad you made it to Rochester safely. Robert, that is great that you are getting your appetite back, especially steak! It is beautiful in the mountains right now with the aspens changing but I think this weekend is the peak and the leaves will be gone by next weekend. We took the Harley up to Sqaw Pass last weekend and took pictures but they just don't do the beauty justice. I have managed to catch ML's crud but I don't seem to have quite as bad of case as he did. Started taking Airborne. I swear it works but the media keeps saying it is just a hoax. Oh well, I will take mind over matter. Instead of paying bills, Rox, read your book and take it easy. Hope you get a schedule going so things can settle down a little. Love & Prayers, Relda & ML

Our schedule today:
ll:30 a.m. Hilton Bld - Blood tests
12:05 p.m. Gonda Bld - CT Scan
3:00 p.m. Mayo Bld - Chest x-ray
Tues, Oct 7, 2008
8:15 a.m. Gonda Bld - Oncology Evaluation
11:00 a.m. Charlton Bld -Radiation Consultation
1:45 p.m. Mayo Bld - Dr Kenrick, surgeon
Looks like we can get to all the buildings in the subway so we don't have to go outside if the weather isn't nice. I did get a wheelchair from the hotel as the Hilton building is quite a ways and Robert wears out easily so I can just use it.
Hoping to see the underground mall.
Do you think I will be allowed to do any shopping????? Just joking, don't have any extra cash anyway! ha! This VACATION has become a world class adventure.....
If we get out of appts in decent time tomorrow, we will maybe try to get down the road a little ways.
It is almost 800 miles home! Pray for good weather as we travel. It is stressful enough without the wind and rain. Lots of wind farms up this way.
I found this computer across the road in the Methodist hospital. Sure is more handy than going to the Grand Kahler.
When we come up for radiation, we will maybe stay at the Hope Lodge.
It is a place like the Ronald McDonald house for cancer people.
Maybe this afternoon we can check it out. Looks like a nice place.
We know from experience how nice a place like that can be. When Robbie had his broken neck, the Ronald Mc house was a lifesaver. That is always our choice of charity donations.....
Wishing everyone a good Monday.
Hope the stock market isn't to bad today.
Love and prayers, Rox
Glad to hear your trip was safe and that you have Robert checked in to get his check up. will try to talk to you soon. We went down yesterday to Derek's to celebrate the twins 4th birthday. They will be four the 8th, hard to beleive they are that age already. Brooke and little Allison went down also and she loved playing with the boys. Rox hope all goes well and you and Robert can start home soon. Read your book and try to relax for your own good health.I think of you and Robert all the time and just hope things will go faster for you to get back to some kind of normal schedule soon. What a time you have had and I know it takes it's toll on everyone of you. We keep you in our prayers everyday and hope all this turns out the best for all of you. Stay tough and we love you all very much. Love Hermaine
