DAILY NANCY UPDATE #27

Greetings. 

This is the twenty-seventh in a series of DAILY NANCY UPDATES I will be posting until the amazing Nancy Neufeld Callaway is in full remission and we have kicked her leukemia on its ass.

BREAKING NEWS

After a long morning in the UCLA outpatient oncology clinic-- we are pleased to report that Nancy's numbers all continue to look good. Her ANC (immunity levels) are still a little low-- but after being given the right meds, she should be fine, with no need to return until Wednesday.

HEADLINES


You wouldn't know it from today's clinic pic-- but one of Nancy's eyes is also a tad itchy and red-- (turns out wearing eye makeup to the Bar Mitzvah maybe wasn't a great idea)-- so we had to make a side trip across the street to the Doris Stein Eye Center. And even though all indications are that the problem should be easy to resolve, your continued good thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

POST SCRIPT

Cancer forces you to slow down. Like waaaayyyy down. And everything takes forever. At least if you're ridiculously impatient like me. So if Nancy has a routine blood draw appointment set for 8AM-- don't expect to leave before noon. And don't be surprised when a nurse or doctor then says you need to make another appointment somewhere else. Or that the place you have to go will actually be closed when you get there-- forcing you to wait-- with just enough time to get frustrated, but not enough time to get your hungry wife lunch. One of the bad things about being a TV Showrunner is that you get used to a certain rhythm-- to having a team around you all the time who know how to make things happen. But I often find those skills don't apply very well to situations like this. When I've come off the whirlwind grind of shows in the past-- Nancy has had to fairly remind me on more than one occasion that "I can't produce our lives." But right now, I'm struggling to remind myself that I can't boss around the rest of the world, either. Guess all I can really do or say is: WE LOVE NANCY, and...

ALL IS WELL!
