If one were to add a pair of highly polished Italian loafers and a Giorgio Armani suit to Mr. Boyd's wardrobe, he could easily be mistaken for the twin of a bond-trading financier! <br /><br />His Grace had the distinct displeasure of meeting this dubious character aboard a yacht while having cocktails with Ben Bernanke, Mario Draghi and the oh-so-delicious Christine Lagarde. (he was tempted to lick her knees) The Duke was swindled by this evil person, and rest assured, the Duke is not easily duped!<br />In fact, his Grace is SO unsettled he is currently out on the back 40 digging up and re-burying all of his assets, including bones, Bully-Stix and squeaky toys. Personally, I think Mr.Boyd looks very classy.<br />Continued forward progress,<br />The Dowager Lady M.<br />Assistant Master of the Household,<br />for His Grace, The Duke of Huntingtonshirembznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-75202721797294958502012-07-28T15:21:45.788-04:002012-07-28T15:21:45.788-04:00So glad to read Uncle Dave is doing better today. ...So glad to read Uncle Dave is doing better today.

Great to hear him so chipper yesterday afternoon. Looks and sounds like he's rounded the corner.

I'm not going through it with him, as you are, Sherry, but I think they are right. He is doing very well.<br /><br />I like his new "do". He's a handsome man. I'm glad you'll be with him at the Residence Inn. Of all people I know in RL, I think I'd want you because you are so methodical and logical, and caring.<br /><br />Wishing you and David days of progress to full strength. I imagine just to get out in the fresh air will lift his spirits. <br /><br />I have stayed in regular Residence Inns, and they are very nice. I look forward to hearing all about it, tomorrow.

This will definitely be a change - I am glad to hear that Residence Inn takes their role as a 2nd stop for transplant patients seriously. I am also glad he will likely be able to sleep much more without people coming in constantly. It is a surprise that he has so little appetite, but clearly, his body is busy doing other things. The pictures really showed his hestitation to make it through the meal. I look forward to the post-discharge updates as his cell counts continue to rise and hopefully, he becomes less 'tentative' and less 'tired'!!!! Keep up the fight - hopefully, each day is better than the last :)Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-64460436671093778662012-07-27T21:35:23.949-04:002012-07-27T21:35:23.949-04:00I teared up seeing David with shorn hair.
