Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and started reading Science. I had to move my car out of the parking garage last night because the lateral sewer lines have to be cleaned today. I finally found a semi-legal spot to park it outside, but several cars were still in the garage yet to be moved, so I don’t know what they will do. I feel good today.

Yesterday afternoon I went to the Oscar dinner party at the Ariagnos with the Morrills. I was glad that I saw The Artist the night before since it won most of the big prizes. I have learned that Alex’s hockey game was yesterday, so I am going to try to watch it online today as a replay. I feel good today.

Yesterday I tried to watch Alex’s hockey game, but when I went to the website Ethan sent I could not get the video to play. I must have been doing something wrong. Josh came over later and brought food from Boston Market. I had the roast chicken and we watched the Sharks lose to Nashville. The Sharks got behind by two goals in the first few minutes of the game and never were able to catch up, although they came close a couple of times. They ended up losing 3-6, including a couple of empty netters at the end. In the late evening Larry and Judy called and asked if I would like to go see The Artist with them. I had seen a lot of discussion about it on Charlie Rose, but I thought it was a little boring. I liked watching the dancing at the end though. I give it three stars. I feel good today.

Yesterday after the usual Friday PBS shows, I read some more on my Kindle. I am getting near the end now and it will soon be time to download another. I feel good today., but I am concerned that my doctor says I need to consult with a nephrologistas indicated in the message below.

Dear Mr. Basler,
Your Blood count shows that the anemia is stable.
Your Basic Metabolic Panel (electrolytes, kidney test, glucose) shows decreased renal function, but not as severe as when you were hospitalized previously. I think a consult with a nephrologist would be good to make sure we have optimized your care. Please call for an appointment:
Nephrology Department

If you have any questions, please email or call my office 650-853-2984.
Sincerely,
Sherry Huang, M.D.

I had breakfast at Heidi’s Pies with Reggie this morning. Yesterday I watched the Golden State Warriors beat Phoenix in Phoenix in NBA basketball. The Warriors were never behind until the last minute or so of the game, but they ended up winning because they made their last shot and the Suns missed theirs. I feel good today.

I forgot to mention in yesterday’s message that I went to PAMF to have my catheter changed. Yesterday Josh came over and watched the third period of the hockey game with me. The game was played in the eastern time zone, so he was not able to make it for the start of the game. The Sharks beat the Toronto Mapleleafs 2-1. After the game we went to the Dutch Goose for burgers and fries. The place was crowded as always, but the food was good. Afterward I read some more on my Kindle and turned in after the news. I will have to watch the Charlie Rose Brain Series at noon today. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched the local NBA team, the Golden State Warriors, beat the LA Clippers in another exciting game. When the Warriors are on their game they can beat even good teams, but so far they are not going to make the playoffs. Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and started reading Science. I feel good today.
