Hey!!  I used to hang around here.  What else can you do connected to all of those tubes, just hang.  Well, one day I saw my chance; Igor let his strangle-hold go slack and I slipped out the door, escaped, kept running, went to a coffee shop and admired my 2/3rds fistula scar - I said it was a war wound and got a medal for it.  And you can count on me to be truthful.  I should go into politics.  Hey, if the Teabaggers can do legitimate rape I'll do part-time dialysis; you know, come in this week and take the next week off.

Gotta go!  They're chasing me. Yaaaahhhhoooo! I think its a Nephrologist with a great big needle.  Hubba hubba - - later.

I dug deep into my closet and found my guitar, a quality Telecaster, and I am trying to learn how to play that infernal machine.  Listen, I can play while rocking you to sleep and I promise to stay away from my vast collection of off color songs.  You need some TLC.

Oh, PLEEEEZE don't stay away from the off-color songs! Don't you know that laughter is the BEST medicine? One of my strategies this year has been to seek out things that make me laugh.

 :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I'm actually going to go into three weeks of hyperbaric oxygen treatment starting next Thursday. I'll be taking 2 "dives" a day at 2.8 atmospheric pressures while breathing 100% oxygen for 90 minutes. I am hoping this will kill off the Lyme and other co-infections and allow me to lose the PICC line for good. Doing IV treatments 7 days a week is not as bad as dialysis, but it still sucks. Right now I'm on 3 oral antibiotics and one IV antibiotic. Can you imagine what it has done to my gut????

 :puke;  (Well, actually, it is more the other end that is affected!)  :rofl; :rofl;

Keep me laughing, Gerald!  :2thumbsup;
