A hit and run entry, for a hit and run kind of day. I’m packed and ready to head southward to North Carolina, where the temperatures are running at least ten degrees warmer than they are here. I found out yesterday that we need coveralls for the wet lab on Saturday. I went home and…
Interestingly enough, the transplant center seems far more pleased with my progress than I am. My weight is holding relatively steady, my incision is healing nicely, the swelling in my legs has reduced significantly, and my albumin was up to 3.0 as of last week (normal is 3.3 – 4.5, so I’m almost there). I…
This was going to be an entry on ototoxicity, but I saw while catching up on my diaries that ADM already did this entry, and better than I would have. His entry has a nice link to a site that lists known ototoxins, so make sure you check it out. I can only offer a…
Finally got the test results back from Dr. Fell yesterday. PET scan: Normal No detectable masses anywhere in my body. Flow cytology: Normal No detectable abnormal cells in my bloodstream. I’m staged at 1A: Cancer affecting less than 10% of my skin, with nothing in blood, lymph nodes or organs. I can live with that.

Wow they actually gave people money! I thought there would be too many claims and they’d give the money to music programs or something like that.
So where’s the picture of the new Ducky?
And to think you can buy 50 blank cds for $10 at Sam’s or just about anyplace you can think of. I guess those guys finally had to admit it didn’t cost $10 for each disc. Big phoneys. Whatcha gonna do with your big settlement? ;o)

Don’t spend that all in one place now! 🙂
Lots of pleasantly tickled little guys adding up to one very chastised big guy. Works for me.
Wow. Maybe the Kid and I will get ours soon, too! That would be nice. Somehow, I have a feeling it will be a couple of measly dollars (if anything) for us Californians though. 🙁

LOL! go little guy!
It’s not much, but the gratification over the settlement out weighs anything else!
Now, don’t spend it all in one place!

Congratulations for your part in sticking it to the man. 🙂
Hooray =)
Buy us all ice cream.
Hey, I signed up for that way back when but I haven’t received anything!
