Do it again... now!

I'm going in for another thorocentisis this afternoon. Remember the one last time, where they poked a little hole in my lung? Yea, that one. Where they stick the really long needle in your back and tap you like a maple tree full of syrup. I figure if there was 1% chance of that hole thing happening that time, then the chances of it happening twice to the same person must be slot machine odds eh? Plus, I can barely breathe... damn. So I get the big needle again today, and I'm looking forward to having it done. You just don't appreciate how nice it is to breathe freely until that gets taken away from you.

Then I have my 4th chemo treatment tomorrow. Number 4. Four down, and perhaps 4 more to go? I think I am half way through the chemo. Half way; at least according to the initial plan. They did a tumor "marker" test Friday, so I'll know more tomorrow how we are doing. It's working. I can see and feel changes.

So while you are having that bad day today—stuck in traffic or just having to be at your sucky office—breathe! And be glad you are not getting stabbed in the back like me... well... if you are in an office that is probably happening and you just don't know about it...
