The Hangover

These guys are having a bad Friday
So, it's Friday.

A friend of a friend had a look at the car on Thursday night and as I expected there was an issue with the callipers and rotor on the right front. That's resolved, and the noise/feeling I was hearing. There is still an alignment/arm/etc. issue. We were referred to OK Tire here in Abbotsford to have them hoist it up and look at it.

It's Friday. I should know better.
Anyway, a motor mount is gone, and rear subframe for the motor has rusted away. The curb hit finished it off. It's about $1400.

We're not worrying about it right now.

Last night, Sonja's Parents ( and Kim - Yay Kim ) took AJ and Dexter to spend the night at their house so we could go out for a date and enjoy a bit of life before they start trying to kill me on Monday.

White Spot and a Movie.

Best Night in a long time.

We saw "The Hangover" and it was WELL WORTH THE MONEY. DAMN funny. Tears in my eyes funny. If you liked "Zack and Miri make a Porno" (also a top favourite of ours) and/or the 40 year old virgin, you will love "The Hangover".

It might just be that it's fresh in my mind, but it was even better than those two.

You must see it.

Go to Costco, and buy a 2 Adult Pass, 2 Large Drink, 1 Large Popcorn package for $25. Drop the kids off at the relatives, or just duct tape them to the wall. You only need 3 hours. They will be fine.

Now.

Go.

Stop Reading.

Someone's like me.

I was back in at the LBMT Thursday afternoon for blood work, hickman line flushing, and news. The good news is that there seems to be a very good chance that they have found a bone marrow match for me.  Dr. Bernard, who gave me the news, said a "95% chance" - mostly to give an out, as there are a lot of things that can go wrong still. I don't know how far along they are in the process with the donor but they are looking at starting the transplant in the next 2-3 weeks, early-mid October.  I will know more shortly after a yet to be scheduled meeting with Dr. Nevill. So, if you are one of the recent people who signed up for the registry, and have been magically called as a match, you might very well be my blood brother/sister so to speak - lol. The coming transplant scares the willies out of me as it will be the most intensive event I have been through in this whole thing, since the start over a year and a half ago.  Any grief, discomfort, etc.  I have been thoug

Thurdsay - My New Nemisis ?

Wow. Today was nasty. Tossed and turned most of the night, and then barfing in the morning. Nothing to come out, just there to taunt me, and let me know who's boss. Then there was the tightness of the chest, and some pain in my arm. Well, that started a flury of activity. ECG, blood work, etc. ECG looks good, there were some blood signed that the heart might have been in distress. They will be putting me on some drugs to help my heart mellow out just in case. It's all fine now, but they are being on the safe side. Tired. So very tired today. I slept most of the day, and I am only now getting into doing some stuff on the computer. Catching up with work, blog, etc. I don't have my totals for today, but the platelets and red blood cells mean I will probably be getting a transfusion tomorrow. I got to have a shower today - Yippie ! My last bag of the nasty "Red Koolaid" of death was today, so only the one Chemo drug left on tap. Still a potent brew at that, bu

Day 36, 37 - You're Fired !

Day 36 - Thursday Ok, so today was another decision day.  Would the stat's be stabilized or would I get a transfusion ? Determined to be going home no matter what, I had checked out of the Lodge at 9am, and my luggage was down at the reception.  I was still there until around 12:30 when I said my goodbyes to some of the other inmates, and left for my 1pm appointment.   W 3.7 / N 1.7 / H 100 / P 60 All Up with last transfusion on Sunday. So, they start consulting if they should remove my Hickman line or not.  Just after 3pm, the decision comes down that they will remove it. At this point I feel it looks good that I will be able to have my next appointment be a week away, or at least until Monday, thus giving me the weekend. Around 3:15, Dr. Teshpar comes in to remove my Hickman line.  Most of the female doctors are more compassionate, but have a lot of difficulty when it comes to the "Causing Pain" stuff like biopsies, etc. Dr. Teshpar was not happy about h
