I'm an Individual Just like everyone else

As requested for comparsion purposes 'oldmebear'.

Our new friend Crazy Nurse But Not The Crazyiest Nurse, with the coolest glasses said this to me today, as she shoveled another cocktail down the tube. Me and bluey thought that it warranted a mention, even the title spot, in a blog. P.S to CNBNTCN, keep the good lines coming. It take a whole village to write a blog.

Speaking of the tube (All Ahead Full please, Mr Scott) My tubes have failed to bleed for the second day running, flush just fine but not the other way. Those of you that know me know that I hate any device that fails to function as it was designed to. Unless of course that failure is a direct result of my trying to alter the design specs at the point of consumer use. Then we just try to hide the sucker and hope no one notices. But that is another twenty or thirty stories a year that I hope Bluey doesn't discover. She has this way of picking up the no longer functioning item and just looking at me with the "I thought you were fixing this" look. Anyway I hope that if I get really flat, not the barka lounger flat that we get in the chemo chairs, but hospital bed flat, I can get the blood flowing again.

Went to see the Wild Hogs after treatment. It was okay but a bit standard Hollywood. Ate a very nice Vietnamese lunch and walked a bit in Southbank. I watched teens cavoting in the pool and realized they weren't born when the pool was built! The bouganvilla in the arbour is filling in very nicely.

Notes: for those of you having problems posting feel free to yell at your computer, slam the key board then send the comment, not the computer, to me at chrisolin22@hotmail.com and I'll post. Thanks to Dan for his spanish entries that's really going out there for the team. By the way Dan since we are still in drought please consider a vacation here soon.

I don't reckon I use much aussie slang but Dan wants tranlastions. The preceeding sentence was ....I don't think I use much Australian Collequial terms but Dan wants translations. Bluey thinks that the very funny typo I had, where the previous word dan was replace in the second instance by 'head', wasn't that funny. But now it's just 'cute' I going downhill with the writing. I better stop while I'm a head. Anyway if any of my Candian readers, come to that the Austalians too, that want a word tranlated can just submit the word in the comment section. Also all medical questions can be asked via comment or emailed to chrisolin22@hotmail.com. If I get stuck for an answer we'll Just ask Dr. Muller. ;-)

Happy Birthday Regs!

Please raise your glasses with me, no your right arm, foerarm vertical...yes that's nice, in a toast, all together now ..."I'm an individual".

More later,
yeah we have Jo and Gene visiting, trips to Buccan, more chemo, packing for the hospital ,It's a full life.

Still in Mexico, and wishing I could stay forever, regardless of the rain.

Posting in Spanish is getting easier. ¿No dispones de una cuenta de Google? Regístrate aquí.
También puedes utilizar tu cuenta de Blogger. Todavía no hay comentarios.

I have no idea what that means, I just copied and pasted it off of the posting entry screen. Something to do with registering before you post, but I thought it would impress you for at least 4 seconds until you got to this confession.

Soon I will post my own definitions of your unique vocabulary for your awe and amusement. But for now, a simple ola and adios. I'm just checking in and will be back soon - manana as they say in this part of the world which literally translated of course means tomorrow, but is generally understood to mean maybe tomorrow, maybe next month.

Adios,

Dan

Did I tell you that I have developed an irrational fear of chickens? John threatened to put me in a mental institution because I chased a seagull, but I told him I only chased it because I thought it was a chicken.
Tyson’s dad thinks I am weird and you know what? I think he may be right.

But that isn’t the point is it? No. That was just a slice of random I thought I would give you to get the ol’ noggin ticking. Hehe.
You’re tubes need and good session of verbal harassment. I vote that you try to get your funky nurse with cool glasses to do it. But if need is dire I will be happy to submit myself.
