The Piedmont Hospital Hilton

Lord, Nurse and Butler did not sleep well and Mr. FOG overslept.  He was awakened by his Lordship demanding his promised breakfast of eggs and toast. 
The trio checked into the hospital for the start of the chemotherapy treatment.  Nurse Kathy from Mario’s oncologist said she would ask for the suite and the Laird, befitting his status, and he got it.   Nurse Sherry seemed to enjoy the nicer accommodations as well. 
Following are some pictures of the hospital room suite with a standard hospital room with bath and living room area with a powder room and mini kitchen.  It will be a very nice home away from home.






At the hospital before starting the treatment, Mario and Sherry opened Parker's gift of personalized inspirational messages,


Likewise Anna, Dan and Charley gave the trio each a notebook to capture their thoughts as they travel on their pilgrimage.  Below is a picture of Mr. FOG’s notebook.  Soon it will be filled with his musings.



Mr. FOG, having done all he could, left the Lord in the care of his oncologist and Nurses Sherry, Geraldine and Pauline.  The chemotherapy is to starts today and will be continuously delivered intravenously via the port in the Lord’s chest for several days.
Seeing that his Lordship was well-attended, Mr. FOG seized the opportunity and went back to Vinings Mountain Castle to refortify himself and run an errand for the Laird.  He left the Laird working on his computer on AT&T business and Nurse Sherry was also working her computer with one eye on the Lord.

Technical Note
Mr. FOG has heard from several of our readers that they have tried to leave comments with no luck.  No, Mr. FOG does not practice censorship, erasing uncomplimentary comments.  There is apparently a technological issue which he will pass on to Anna and Dan.  One reader from San Francisco has been able to post comments.  Perhaps she will share her secret.

  1. Good luck, Mario, hope this treatment is quickly effective and not too onerous.
    In answer to Mr. Fog's question about comments, I believe that Blogger (the software this blog uses) requires that a commenter have an ID with an affiliated service. For example, I leave comments using my Google ID to validate myself. If you have a USERID with any of the following, they should work too: Livejournal, AIM, Wordpress, Typepad, and OpenID. This policy helps prevent spamming and nuisance comments.

  2. Thanks for the update, Mr. Fog! Hope to visit his Lordship tomorrow evening. Marylou is right in that you have to sign in to comment - I believe I used my Gmail login...but you can use all the ones Marylou mentioned above if you do not have a Google ID.
