You know, his bio didn't say. I hope he does!

Yikes, aurelia. That is really creepy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I just finished my PT, and now I have ice on my leg and am wondering who delivers morphine popsicles.
I'd say that's firmly in the purview of Delirium.
(Since nobody makes any money off of my low-key hunch that The Endless might actually exist I continue to lightly hold such belief.)

I did not know blue-footed boobies got their blueness from their diet, like flamingos get their pink. National Geographic calendar teaching me stuff.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Back home from my quarterly labs and scans. The reports are already available to me in the online portal. The speed still amazes me.
It took three attempts, and three different people, to get a good stick today, but they were all being very careful and cautious, and I think I may not have much in the way of bruising. Time will tell.
The results were mostly good. HbA1c and non-fasting glucose are both much improved. Thank you, metformin! Kidney function is much improved. PSA is still only just barely detectable. CT and bone scans report no growing lesions and no new lesions.
Lymphocytes are low but WBC is solidly mid-range, and all the little -phils are also mid-range.
The only disappointing result is that my anemia is noticeably worse. Hemoglobin is down, hematocrit is down. RBC is down. ::sigh:: I suppose I'll have to increase my spinach consumption.
The clinical trial in which I am enrolled will stop tracking patients in November, so my labs&scans will be less frequent next year. Yay for fewer sticks!
Meanwhile, life is pretty quiet, and I am hoping to keep it that way.

Anemia is a drag. Are iron pills no good? They don't do me any good, but I have heard they can be very effective. I like to see all those "much improved" notes!
