You have my condolences.
I went thru a bone marrow transplant 2 1/2 years ago.Sad to say, several of the other patients on the transplant ward with me had that same result.
There is a very risky period after the transplant that can last months while your immune system works to replenish itself.
If you had to transplant bone marrow cells from someone else, it takes at least three times as long.
Even after that, you can have reversals.
Please tell the family from someone who went through the process that, well actually there's not much to say.
I can say how much I appreciate the people who were there for me throughout the process.
I'm sure your cousin would like to thank those who were with him, too.
My thoughts are with your family.

You mean people don't think of AZ doing the Thriller the moment they see his posts for the first time?
Oh laud what a post for ToP...
Ha ha, nekkid TOZ the dance critic.
Nope, I think of him asking for brains at Popeyes, and them giving him a bucket of chicken and smiling weird and saying, "Yeah, um here is you brains sir."

My mom got her gall bladder out too. I'm sorry to hear you are going through such an awful time, it sounds like one thing after another to infinity.

From what the doctor's said, my father is going to have the gallstones removed and his gall bladder too. It's nothing serious, but he will be on more medication than he can afford.
At least Tuesday night is quiet and I got my movie time on Monday. Looking forward to see Johnny English and the Three Musketeers.

I fully realize that not everyone agrees with me. My opinion, if it is not Lawful good, it is not a Paladin. Holy Warrior of some sort, and there are those, but not a Paladin. Personally I thought 3.0 should have made them into a prestige class, but once again I am in the minority. Oh well.

i dunno about sorcerer->wizard because of the existence of archmage, but I'm sure something could have been worked out.

Yeah, let me rephrase that, A well designed PrC.
Which I have honestly always had a preference for the 5 level ones.

Minor Rant (that would bring the trolls if mentioned anywhere else...)
Ok, so here in Colorado you can by marijuana for "medicinal" purposes. I would say that "medicinal" is loosely used in this case. Many/Most of these places have on-staff doctors at the locations (which only deal in pot) to prescribe the "medicine" to any warm body that comes in. Fine ... whatever... I really don't care about that -- although I find it interesting that there are probably more of these little "hole-in-the-wall" establishments than there are ... Starbucks here in Colorado Springs.
What gets me is that they are starting to call these places -- "Wellness Centers". Seriously? While I'm not going to debate that there are medicinal purposes for the stuff -- I still feel it's a far cry from "wellness".

** spoiler omitted **
wise not to mention it elsewhere, although I think it would attract just as many debates as trolls. I also think the word wellness is the only one they can use due to legal reasons, like how certain vitamins are "supplements", and so on.

Yea. like an avalanche, it's coming down the mountain.
Things are good, it doesn't appear that my father is suffering from pancreatitis or any other detrimental complications, but at his age, I'm waiting for something else to go wrong.
I'm doing fine myself,stressed but I'm more concerned about my mother and her health now. Especially now she being dismissed on the 31st of this month. I'm going to need another chat with my employer and friends.
On the sunnier side of life, it's Wednesday and thus it's time for my weekly pilgrimage to Alternate Reality Comics and my pile of literature.

Seriously, I was thinking about you recently and wondering how things were going. Glad that things seem to be going better.

It's mid-forties with a cold drizzle here today and should be about the same at 7:05 tonight. I hope the junior leaguers enjoy the break from that hot Texas weather.
Aren't they near any cities? Are they too ashamed to identify with a particular Texas city, or didn't any city want their name attached to the team?
