Shrinking Cowboy

Thinner and thinner is our lil cowpoke! I'm just about bigger than he is, now, as you can see from this photo.

News of the day, so far, in Q&A format:

QUESTION: Did Dr. Bladderbrain's office ever call me back in response to the two--TWO--messages I left reminding them that Bill was supposed to have his followup visit within 10 days of leaving the hospital so as NOT to forestall the beginning of chemo so as NOT to allow any wandering cancer cells to set up housekeeping anywhere in his body?

ANSWER: No, the Bladderbrain office did not return my call. I sat here ALL DAY yesterday, waiting for the phone to ring. Nothing.

QUESTION: Did Bill lose three pounds yesterday?

ANSWER: Yeppers.

QUESTION: Is Bill's heart still beating too hard, and his blood oxygen level registering at a low number?

ANSWER: Yeppers.

QUESTION: Nonetheless, did Bill say that yesterday he felt a tiny bit better for the first time?

ANSWER: Yeppers.

QUESTION: Is there good news about the healing of his incision, and some improvement in his abdominal situation?

ANSWER: Yeppers. Things are improving in his abdominal situation.

QUESTION: Was Beth googling Wake Forest Oncologists this morning, as part of a newly hatched scheme to potentially get away from Puke--I mean, Duke--and try to find a medical situation where he actually receives FACTS and CARE? (He still hasn't been given the complete information in his pathology report by anyone at Puke. The only reason we know what his pathology report says in its entirety is because I got a nurse to print a copy off of her computer in the hospital.) Did I make several calls and attempts trying to get the pathology report some other way? Yeppers. Were those all ignored by the Bladdermeister and his staff? Yeppers. Is this a DIRECT QUOTE from Dr. BladTheImpaler Himself when asked if he would please just send a copy of the pathology report to Bill in the hospital: "No! We're not running a FEDERAL EXPRESS office around here!"

However many questions were in the preceding paragraph, I'll let you guess the answers.

Hint: The first letter is "y"...
