I go down daily, for a seven-day period, to get injections of 2CDA, the drug of choice for the Hairy Cell Club. I am more tired, but not yet fatigued. Yesterday I took my second daughter with me, and today I took the oldest (ages 7 and 8 respectively). Afterwards we made the obligatory pilgrimage to McDonalds, and then walked around Recoleta, Argentina’s most famous cemetery which is full of mausoleums. I hear more English there than anywhere else in Buenos Aires, as it is a popular tour bus stop. There you can see the graves of numerous famous Argentines, including (drum roll) that of Eva Perón, the country’s most famous woman. And…Argentines are still irked that Madonna would dare play Eva in a film. If you are ever in Buenos Aires, stop and see the Recoleta cemetery and then go to the Hard Rock café, or another restaurant, nearby. There is also a beautiful catholic church next door with a cloisters museum. You might not be into historical museums, but this one offers a great view of the cemetery, making for some great pictures.
My strength remains pretty good. Yesterday was a full day and I did not sleep a lot last night, so really slept hard this afternoon. We commented today that the onset of my leukemia also saw: 1. Our phone system breakdown and remain out of commission for a week. 2. The death of our VCR player. 3. Head lice spread abundantly throughout the scalps of our girls, 4. The pool began to drain…on its own, and 5. Our four-year-old son has a fever.
When it rains….
