Well, after a minor setback involving communication from my doctor's office with his patient, I'm still at the hospital, and am now scheduled to have another ultrasound on my arm today, preparing me to go home sometime this afternoon, hopefully. Idiots let another blood clot form and knew about it ...

Latest development, I am going home tomorrow afternoon, after one more round of blood tests and transfusions, and the removal of the IV line in my left arm. We've decided against leaving in a PICC line, and I will be taking care of the pain medication, same as I am doing with the insulin and the ...

Thanks for the wishes for a full recovery. I'm actually pretty fortunate, they've already identified 6 potential bone marrow donors, almost all of whom are matches on 99 out of 100 areas, so I am told that I could have a transplant as early as this summer. That would rock, because a transplant is my ...

Actually, they are doing a pretty fair job, considering what they have to work with. The normal course of treatment for a clot would be heparin, or some other clot buster/blood thinner, but due too the reduced platelet count, they can't do that, or I won't be able to stop bleeding when I cut myself ...

Well, it's the stupidest thing, really. About 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with CLL, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and went through chemotherapy, using a new regimen of rituxan, fludarbine and cytoxane. In late February, I was told to go to the hospital because they suspected internal bleeding, but ...

Yes, drugs are bad... but I've got to take a bunch of them, and one of the kinds that I am on is dilaudid, which is pretty potent, but also leaves me feeling pretty crappy after the pain comes back and I can't take more for another few hours. In this case, if I can come up with some other form of ...

I need some suggestions. What, if any, pain medications are out there that fill the void between morphine and dilaudid? Strictly prescription stuff, mind you.

Sweet! I haven't seen anyone with one of those since Elvis Costello, several years ago.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms, grandmoms, etc., out there!

And how many of you said "I'll never use this stuff once I get out of school"?

Who was dumb enough to do that? Because I could sure use some of their clothing allowance!

Since when can there be "too much C-4"?

Congrats on still loving the job after the first month. By that time, usually the cynicism has set in, but that doesn't sound like the case here. Nice of you to donate your locks to cancer research.

2-0!!!

Listen to the boos!

Game!!!

COVER WESTBROOK!!!!

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good... but it's always better to be a Redskins fan than an Eagles fan!

McNASTY!!!!

Keep them inbounds, eat the clock!

Worry about the 2 pointer if they get the first 6. I'm looking for an INT in the end zone!

Okay, knock McNasty on his buttocks and disrupt him again, keep them out!

They're just trying to keep the game interesting for us fans, is what they're doing...

ONE play, D, for the GAME!!!

Reid is doing a nice job of saving us some clock.
