Someone reading this has done something to hurt me. It was not an accidental slight. This was mean-spirited, malicious and required some small amount of preparation. Please, don’t e-mail me to ask if it was you. If you aren’t sure, then it wasn’t you. If you are sure, you really won’t have any reason to…
Liver: 418 Liver Status 7:(Inactive): 45 Liver MELD / PELD <10: 251 Liver MELD / PELD 11-18: 108 Liver MELD / PELD 19-24: 11 Liver MELD / PELD 25+: 3 I didn’t bother calling to find out what my MELD score was this week. Based on my last bloodwork, it would have dropped again and…
Of course I remember 911, Alli. I just don’t recall Sadam Hussein being involved at the time. I do recall bin Laden being implicated. And if we are to say that Saddam is to blame because he aided bin Laden (along with a cast of a hundred others), then we also have to take a…
In the lunchroom today: ⢠A conversation revolved around one of the members of the Dixie Chicks, who evidently said that she was ashamed to be a Texan (I assume because of Bush’s current political stance). The group was cackling because country-western stations are boycotting their songs and some of the Dixie Chicks’ concert engagements…
Well, I still didn’t get the taxes done, but that’s only because the guy I wanted to use was tied up all day today. I have an appointment 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening. So that, at least, will put the last big thing I have hanging over my head to bed. The Socialist and I finally…
Best laid plans of mice, men and Salamanders … I slept until nearly 12:30 again today and (sigh) no, I did not get my taxes done. Tomorrow for sure. I told the Socialist to shame me into it. I can’t let them go and chance not getting them done because I was hospitalized. We went…
The robins have returned to my winter-stricken version of Capistrano. They say it is bad luck if you see your first robin of the season on the ground; “A robin on the wing brings good luck through the spring”, or something like that. I saw perhaps half a dozen of them on the ground yesterday…
Yet another draining session. This time we got 9.3 Liters out of me. My abdomen is really sore at the moment – it will take time for my guts to reconfigure themselves back into place. My lab scores continue to fall closer and closer into normal ranges. My bilirubin is still high (though not as…
I see I screwed up the dates on Monday’s and yesterday’s entry. Typical. There are days I shouldn’t be allowed out without a chaperone. So Bush is doing something other than war-mongering these days. I see that yesterday he signed off on legistlation that would create a national “do not call” list. Charities, surveys and…
And the newest standings from my transplant center, according to UNOS are: Total Liver: 419 Liver Status 7 (Inactive): 44 Liver MELD / PELD <10: 249 Liver MELD / PELD 11-18: 111 Liver MELD / PELD 19-24: 13 Liver MELD / PELD 25+: 2 I don’t think it’s worth my time waiting up nights for…
