Valentine's Day, eh? Things are getting hot around here! That's not good though, could land me in the hospital again. Bleh.
Was down at the Ketts all day today already! Rads and a little transfusion to bump up the hemoglobin numbers. As I tweeted earlier, only fitting that I would be getting some extra reds on Valentine's Day. That was, of course, a load of fun: wait for blood, receive blood, leave. Lots of waiting around.
Trying to relax and get this body temperature to simmer down; hope everyone out there is enjoying the holiday in their own way!

Almost went to bed without blogging - nearly a nightmare of epic proportions. Fear not all, I'm still kickin' woooooo. Barely after the Rangers gave me a heart attack last night...so unnecessary. They're lucky they pulled out the win in the shootout or I was going to go up there and tell Tortorella, "Step aside, I got this one Chief," and give the team the business.
Went down to Sizzler today as always, Doc says I'm lookin' good gettin' a bit of a tan where the beam hits. This is a first, I've never tanned in the nude nor have I ever tanned the booty. This thing is gonna look niiiiiice. People simmer down, no pictures today.
The Relay for Life team is making me real proud. All your donations have been unreal; the team is currently ranked 6th of 115 teams in fundraising. Unbelievable stuff, cannot thank you all enough! Such a great event for a great cause. Nothing like having all of your support and fighting this together. Thank you again, and stay well everyone.

Radiating like it's nobody's business. But then again I always shine ;) ehhhh? ehhhh? K fine don't laugh. Immediately knocked out by this whole radiation scheme. Just like mush as I sit here on the couch. But a nap and a hearty lunch later, and I'll be in tip-top form (relatively speaking).
For those not in the vicinity of Boston, my Boston College Eagles hockey team captured the Beanpot (4-team tournament of Boston's college hockey teams) for the fourth consecutive year last night. Undefeated in the Nicky Mo Era some may say. Or none. Maybe just me. Pretty pumped about that, big fan.
Also, speaking of the great Boston College, there will be a Relay for Life event on campus to benefit the American Cancer Society this Friday, February 15th. My roommates and friends have formed an incredibly solid team, and impeccably named if I may say so myself, to raise money for the cause. If you would like to support us in the fight against cancer, you can find the information here. Every donation counts!!
Everyone don't get too crazy with your State of the Union drinking games tonight. Later folks.

I'm starting to consider possibly throwing in some secretive or cryptic messages, or even something along the lines of "Hidden Mickeys" in the blog to jazz it up a bit. Maybe make it Dan Brown Da Vinci Code-esque. Maybe I'm deluding myself if I truly believe I have the talent/skill to pull off such a feat...or am I? Maybe that was the first clue...hmmmm? Maybe I'm losing my mind...hmmmmm? (This is highly likely.)
Grabbed some rays this morning, nooooo big deal. A little zap here and there and out the door I went - tired as could be. Makes for a great nap, let me tell you - hence this blog being quite late in the day. I'll be recommending it to folks rather than risking them going the Elvis route. "Lunesta? Nah, nahhhh, try some photons!"
Probably shouldn't promote that I guess. Though it could be all the rage. I'll deliberate. Hope everyone had good fun with the snow this weekend. Catch ya later.

Minions. Greetings.
These drugs are the real deal. I had a "Groundhog Day"-like recurring nightmare about a horse race last night. Real tough. Woke up in a cold sweat - twice! Combine that with not remembering certain things from chemo week...yeesh.
So these past couple of chemo rounds have decided they want to take my eyebrows from me. I hadn't really noticed, or cared, until water started going into my eyes in the shower after rolling off the shiny dome. I would've never even thought of that function of the brows until this event. People: treat your eyebrows well. They serve a valiant purpose.
Feeling weak and tired - to be expected. Stay away from infection and keeping cool (body temperature-wise); you all do the same now.

Finally home. What a tundra, had to be like 18 inches of snow here. Katie is clearly unamused with this bathroom interference the snow is running. Wrinkles shoveled out a nice spot or two for her; she's taken to them quite well for all of you truly concerned parties.
Now that we've updated on Katie's bathroom logistics, let's cut to the chase. Cycle 5 was tough. Got some interesting meds that got me to a point where I said stuff about other appointments to Dad that I don't remember saying, at all. I would make a terrible CIA agent. But we are through it! Radiation has been all they cooked it up to be, and more! (See what I did there, cooked? Radiation? Microwave...No? Yes!?)
Anywho it's been real. No relief - struggle week coming up, combined with returning everyday for radiation, and throw in a couple of likely transfusion days, and we've got a long week ahead of us. But not as long as this week, which is swell. Stupendous, even.
Here's to an excellent weekend first, though. Can't be getting ahead of ourselves...one day at a time. Take care folks.

Day 5 in the books. Praise the sweet, sweet Lord. These 5 day chemos are brutal.
Stuck in the city thanks to "Nemo". Not a mettling clownfish, or captain of the Nautilus, but a blizzard named such. Highly interesting name choice. Not really digging it to be completely honest.
Passing out, thanks to nausea meds, and will take my tush home tomorrow. Feeling like moosh, but back to the living room grind tomorrow. Love it. Talk to you later all.
