I'm back from the hospital. It wasn't a bad experience, relatively speaking. It looks like the doctor did a great job on my arm. No central line, or new access in another part of my arm was installed. He was able to fix the original site, and I got to sleep through the whole thing. I got back around 2 in the afternoon, and i've...

It is amazing how quickly things can go from awesome to crappy. This took, in total, about 3 hours, but I knew the minute it began. All it takes is one person who puts faith in their own experience overrides their ability to listen. In this case it was a dialysis tech whose absolute faith that she knew the behavior of dialysis access' better than...

Have you ever seen something that you know is not a big deal, but you also know is going to ruin your whole day?

Yeah, me too.

For the last four months or so I have had a "normal" sleep schedule. I go to bed around midnight, and I wake up around 8am. I did this because of a change in my dialysis schedule. Normally I have had late shifts. I would show up at dialysis around 5 or 6, and get home around 9 or 10. This schedule has always worked...

The best thing about family - sometimes they make you cookies.

It has been far too long since I had homemade cookies.

Imma stop typing now and eat more cookies.

A troop is not a policy, and I can support the first without supporting the latter.

Here's a funny little truth about hospitals. You can tell them anything, and they won't believe you. Tell them you're in excrutiating pain, or that your legs are swollen to 4 times their normal size, or that you're dying. They'll take your vitals, some blood, and shuffle you out the door as fast as they can. Then you'll get...

I walked a mile up the road this afternoon to have lunch with d_day at Tokyo, a little Japanese place in the strip mall at 185th. The walk took me approximately 15 minutes. That's 4 miles per hour (check the mad math skillz). I remember when I was 12 walking home from school (which was also a little over a mile), and figuring out that...

Thank you very much to those of you said Happy Birthday.

Thank you as well to those of you who did not say happy birthday. Yes, I'm at that age where being another year older is no longer noteworthy. I will be quite happy letting today slip into tomorrow without it being remarked on.

...although I did appreciate the attention, thanks =)

It looks like I have no excuses not to go to Fan Faire this August. I was going to use money as my excuse since I have almost none, and don't know when that situation is going to change. One of my EQ2 guildmates asked if I was going and when I explained my situation offered me a hotel room, and a plane ticket. See,...

I lost my sense of humor last night. The prednisone is who I am looking at as the thief. It has some help from the blood I've been coughing up, and the doctors who tell me they can't do anything about the problem.

Some twenty-something in EQ2 got under my skin, and I kind of lost it.

So I'll be looking for it on the...
