This will be (relatively) short. A call this morning that The Marathon Draws are scheduled for Wed-Thurs. It's gonna try my patience w/accessories such as needles and catheters. They follow me for 24 hours to see how the meds absorb into my system.

I'm only "tied down" so to speak for four hours, then incremental draws into Wed evening. Something like half a dozen total. Last draw Thurs morning.

Wardrobe suggestions welcomed. Blood donations welcomed. I'll be down a quart.

Oh man is that how you were imagine taking some pause, moving from us here and having some good time ?
I didn't know that you are THAT kind of man, lol

Hang on buddy

(((Lancer)))

I probably shouldn't make light of it on MS of all places, BUT....

Some people cut. I let people stick needles in me to their hearts' content and take all the blood they want.

Well I would add in same manner:
it is easy for you to give your sweet blood now when you are undetectable

I hope you'll be attached to internet as well while there!

Just for you Pero! Butterfly installed @ 0745, first draw @0800, a little Starbucks brekkie (included), and draws every 15 mins for now.


These things aren't too bad. I could hear my arteries clogging as I ate it.

Only annoying thing is the water injection (cold) after every draw. At least they could inject something carbonated like Diet Coke (bubbles tickle). Seems I may be stuck here until 1600, then back at 2000.

Hang on man!
It seems like we will have live coverage similar like conclave

I hope these two days will pass soon and you will not have much problems.

I'll be waiting for update!

PS. What about wardrobe? What is fashionable there these days ?

What a lovely morning (at least here in the States). The draws are now down to hourly - kinda lost count how many - I have the lappy, even had a li'l nap, comfortable recliner...and no leaks from the butterfly stent!

imo, this is far more interesting than white or black smoke...though they offered me a priest. You can imagine MY answer.

Lancer Buddy!

Wish I could be there to draw your blood. They tell me I'm good at doing it painlessly.


This would make a good thread in itself!

One more draw in a few, then a two-hour break (goin' fer groceries...with the stent!), another draw, a four-hour break, evening draw, then one in the morning. Nice to know I'm wanted for SOMETHING...tho' blood wasn't quite what I had in mind.

Good that your break is near. Who knows maybe stents would become fashion accessory soon, you could be in front of time, lol.

You know they just chosen pope. To avoid boredom and fulfill void left but such outcome our eyes would be pointed only toward you and news from hospital, lol
