Because I was inspired, an extra for a certain Valentine’s Day couple:
I’ll get the obligatory medical update over with quickly, so I can move on to less boring matters. I’m blimping up pretty rapidly at the moment. Yesterday I gained 4 pounds, which is a new personal record, and one I hope not to break any time in the near future. It’s my own fault though….
A quote I stumbled upon in seeking’s diary in an entry made many months ago: A weed is no more than a flower in disguise — James Lowell.
Well, I was able to get an appointment for the follow-up tests on November 27th. I figure if the films looked bad, they’d want me in faster than that. I had hoped it was just going to turn out to be scar tissue from where they did the last biopsy, but it’s the other breast…
Yet another paracentesis today. We got 5.5 liters, and could probably have gotten at least two liters more, but today’s block didn’t take well. (A “block” is what they call injections of a pain-blocker to an area to anesthetize it.) I started feeling pain about three liters into the draining, and there was no way…
We’re going to be upping the ante on this disease. Beginning Wednesday, I begin something called PUVA therapy. Consider it a somewhat benign cross between radiation and chemo therapy. I take a drug, methoxasalen two-and-a-half hours or so before being put into a UVA light box for 15 minutes. The period of time will never…
I owe an update. It’s been difficult to type with my arm in pain, and I’ve been busy with the usual stuff (I did make it to writing class last night). I’ll try to get something more substantial updated this evening. And Justaman, I’ve not forgotten your question. I promise to get back to you…
and that’s all that counts.
🙂 i’m anticipating the hatching of your dancing egg!
Way to go Salamander *imagines pit bull firmly attached to leg*

LMFAO @ whizbang.
I’m sorry he e-mailed you. It’d been much more fun if you could have continued bombing them with e-mails daily… Several times a day.
Imagine you’d found out their phone number. Everybody at the whizbang would have known your name shortly.
Sorry your Valentine wasn’t too romantic *hands you a rose*.

I just wanted to add that I agree with AQuietEvening *grins*.
"Kitten from Hell -an illustrated biography". Haha.
you know i really love the poetry.
Aw, too bad they responded so soon—I liked your idea of being on the best seller list. You still have "The Adventures of KfH", I think THAT would make a great kids book!
