update for the 3rd anniversary of BMT

That's Doc lingo for Bone Marrow Transplant but that's even not really true because its and Analogous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplant. I like BMT because it sounds like I'm really just talking about a sandwich. (BLT). Anyway I went to a great concert and then the next day, April 1st I did blood tests and a dermatological exam.

Picture a guy with glasses and on top of that a magnify visor and this magic wand magnifier....he drips what I presume is saline on me and then applies the wand and looks at every odd spot on my body. Yep EVERY ONE. At least this time three interns didn't come in to look at my rare skin condition. Then picture them suing a sharp punch to chop out a tiny chunk of my skin from two places stitching me up and there you have my annual derm review.

Then I went to see Shoozenboots and he also used medical language. "your kidneys are crap". I think it was just an anomaly because I had been partying for the concert but I have a slightly new regime for my meds and have to do a make up exam in two weeks. Bluey is watching me like a hawk and I have a zero tolerance policy until....... ? whenever?

Three years is pretty good and we are going to france for three weeks so that's pretty cool use of my time I rekon.

more later
