Hi!

Terry just called. "He's doing a lot better!" She said Tank continues to gain strength. He's now able to turn himself in bed.

According to Terry, he said: "I've discovered the best medical advance in the 21st century: Urinals! A ten-cent item doing a billion-dollar business."

Yesterday, he played three rounds of gin rummy with Terry. Jim from Spencer's came by to play cribbage with Tank. Apparently, Tank recently began teaching Jim to play cribbage, and Jim said he needs Tank to stick around long enough to finish the lessons. :)

Tank's almost halfway through the five-day-a-week radiation treatments. He has had 10 to 12 of them, out of 28. The doctor warned that Tank's health could decline toward the end of the radiation treatments, and it will then be necessary to build it back up.

Terry seemed cheerful.

Thanks to everyone for their love and support! :)
