Get well and keep reading those magazines. Pretty soon you'll be outta there. What happened to you anyways, if you don't mind me asking? Nothing serious I hope.

Re: im bed bound and bored
i dont mind sharing now that i am more confident with what i have. i have been diagnosed with lymphoma which is a cancer that attacks the lymphnodes and in my case, the spleen . it prevents blood cells from being produced in the bone marrow. i have had 6 blood transfusions since i got here. my body can hardly do it on its own anymore. i should have biopsy results in the next day or two. then i can start the proper chemo treatment and go home. chances its the 'good' hodgkins cancer makes my chance of full recovery really great. i am confident i will come out of this just fine.

Re: im bed bound and bored
i havnt been well for a few months. its always been a lack of energy,extra pale and feeling colder then you should. i would get very disoriented when i would go from a sit or laying or even crouching position. sometimes i would get up and almost pass out. but iron pills took care of that so i thought being tired and wearing jackets to work was normal for the last 4 months. for a neat fact your average white blood cell count should be about fifteen. mine lingers around 1.6 on average.

Looks like I'm going to Sac tomorrow morning with an arrival around lunch. I don't know jack about the area around Madison but it will be interesting to see a city I've never been to before and it will be good to see Travis.
Anybody else interested in a visit to the party wing at the San Juan medical center?

Re: im bed bound and bored
thanks for everyones support here today, It means so much to me to see all of you travel 2+ hours just to check up on me, even you most Mike(Cadillac). You have only met me once before and you still come to see me. You guys are truly awesome I know who my friends are when I need them. Thanks for all your support. I am home now and good for a hasty recovery. I am doing twice a month for the next six months so wish me luck on a easy recovery from that. I will talk to you guys later. Time for some rest in my cozy ol'e home.

Re: im bed bound and bored
Travis actually got discharged today, so the 6 of us met up at Dennys.
Nice impromptu meet guys, under the circumstances.
Good to see the faces that I haven't seen much this year.
From Left -> Right, excluding me. (Cadillac Mike took another)
Mike (3.492rs)
Vin (vindeezl)
Will (wills83z28cfi - retired)
Travis (TraviZ)
Mike (Cadillac)
On a side note, I'll be updating the sticky up top with some "newbie" rules of thumb, as a couple of you mentioned.
This thread is a great example of the positive light this area we have here on the interw3b is and the friendships and new beginnings that are possible.
Not posting here due to minor issues with the site is not an excuse. Let's get it together in '08 for those who still have love for the 3rd gen.

Sorry I couldn't make it today Travis, my wife is sick and I had to help with the kids. I hope to see you soon. I doub't, wait this is you we're talking about, when you start working on the Iroc and you need a hand I will be more than happy to drive down and help out. Good to hear you're at home, I've been thinking and praying for you all week. Get well soon and again let me know if you need anything.
