Well I'm here and so is the computer.... hmm........what to write......hmm.....
It's 10 in the morning, I go into the Mater Medical Clinic tommorrow at 12:20 for my first bag of Chemo. Appearantly, our new friend Troy, the nurse that flushed my lumens (I love typing that) Says that I come in each day, get a blood test then the pharmacy makes up my coctail based on the results, then they infuse me with it. It only takes a short time to do the infusion but I should be prepared for a two hour stay as the waiting time for results and then the pharmacy takes a bit. The two guys that shared my room at the Mater Private while I was sorting out the infection and rash, were both on Fludarabine and they were not having any problems. They matched me bite for bite at meals. They had naps more I guess, but that's okay. So I'm guessing I'll be good. I hope I'm going to feel okay afterward because we just got an invite to Carnaval Latino at a local performance space. We have a great neighbourhood!
Jo has said that we are living it up down here while we wait. ...Well yeah!
Ret Wright was here last night and had a good visit. She's off today. By the way, Alicia you are supposed to be on the top of the horse. Hope you are feeling better soon. Had a really good long discussion to fill Ret in on how I got here and what happens with the cells in my body. Did you know that my blood type will change to that of my brother! My inmune system is totally tied up with the blood cells and wil have to be started from scratch.
Mary Ellen called to check up and may be here next week.
Jim continues to be a great coorespondent, Hi to you and Irene. I've got some new joiners still. Thanks for checking in and emails of support. Hi to Serena, Thomas, Kyle, Nicole, Travis, Regs, Nate, Cory and Devon.... I know you are there so push 'new message' and copy this into the To: field. chrisolin22@hotmail.com. Come on you Children of the Computer Age! Email me and just tell me what you are doing today.
I'm feeling a little wookie in the tummy, think we got some bad milk for the coffee yesterday. Joyce is over it but I had a restless night, but feel better this morning.
Quiet start to the day then we are taking dinner out to Greg and Anne's to visit with all and Chilli. Probably the last time, for many many months that I get to lick her face!
More later
Chris

Christopher...I have a bone to pick with you...I sent in my Oscar nominations and I'm sure I was the winner and did I see my name in the listing of winners...NO...not that I carry a grudge but....I know you may be thinking its a little late to register a complaint but, I am the queen of procrastination!!! Consider my complaint officially registered. Two weeks to-day I'll be leaving Calgary for Perth and my 10 day stint in Australia...a perfect time to pick up my Oscar for the Oscars ( I am a bit like a dog with a bone!!). Peg and I of course are thinking of you! By the way, I hate to say it buy you've not changed a bit since high school!! Love you both as always...LW & PLM...

Alicia
You know what I do when I have nothing to write? When there is nothing going on in my head?
I say nothing nothing nothing nothing until something comes up. Usually it is very weird.
Apparently I have developed an irrational fear of chickens, according to john and tyson. And they have convinced me that I need to seek mental help.
Not to worry. The chickens shall NOT prevail. And I plan to lock both Tyson and John out of John's car so they can't take me anywhere.
Oh yeah. I am a genius.
Have a good day Chrisy!
