HUMP DAY AT BROOKHAVEN

 It has been a day of adjustment at Brookhaven! My day at MGH saw me getting two transfusions It was a very long day for both Josh and, myself! Today has been different. The food seemed to be less appealing. I Sat out in the front room but became bored. The weather is cold with snowflakes. Son Josh will call at 4;15 p.m. will call friends & relatives to break up the afternoon. Son Ben arrives early Friday morning. I think there's a need for music at Brookhaven!

DAY THREE AT BROOKHAVEN

 My Sunday at Brookhaven was a day of liberation! Josh came by and offered me to eat at the Clam Box where I devoured large Sea Scallops, Fries and a Diet Pepsi. We had a wonderful tour of West Brookfield reminding me of days bygone. Then we returned to Birch Hill where I received my haircut... then I relaxed and fell asleep watching the Patriot game. Spoke with Son Ben who will arrive early Friday morning for a couple days. This Sunday has given me great perspective of what it is to return to West Brookfield. Welcome home, Bob!

SECOND DAY AT BROOKHAVEN

My Second day at Brookhaven has been interesting! Adjusting to the environment will take several weeks. The good thing is friends are stopping by to say "HI!' Son Josh has stopped by several times bringing me all of the necessities to make my new life comfortable. PREVAGEN & Omeprazole are necessary daily supplements to give me an even life. Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I have three meals a day and am pleased with both the food & making new friends! I need help setting up my "Kitchen Display" which will give me the opportunity to play tunes at will! Tomorrow Josh will give me a haircut! All in all my second day at Brookhaven has been revealing!
