    beer and pizza

    You can bet that that is on the agenda when I get home. The meal plan here is restaurant style. I have a menu and order what I wish. They do have pizza too. But not too much of an appetite. I'm 4 doses in. The shakes can be amazing. I walk around with my IV pole. Maybe I can suggest that someone can show me how to use it. I've had my evening dose, so the rest of the night will be crappy. See ya's all tomorrow!

    Foxy, stay strong and believe

     I found a kick-**** combat flight simulator video-game for you called IL-2

    Keep us posted on the Pizza and beer party!  I'll do the same on the same night in solidarity! LOL 

    Any sacrifice for a friend!

    Fox, you definitely rock!  You've got this handled.  The rest is just details!

    Confused!

    Gary, you've got me puzzled - are you alluding to the Enter key, also known as the Return key, but making shift with the older terminology of the typewriter era?

    becoming less fun

     I'm no longer having as much fun. I look like "Tomato Man" I am bright red as if I was out on a boat all day with no sunscreen. Even Mr. wiggles is bright red. I hope it doesn't peel because I can't afford it to get any smaller. 3 hours after infusion I get the chills and shakes. Demorol helps alot. But it takes anothe 6 hours before I feel good. I'm up about 8 pounds which isn't too bad. I'm peeing real good and had my first bout of diarrhea this morning. Vitals and blood work has been amazingly good. Except Something which I forgot what the dr. said. Because she followed that up with "2 doses today and probably only one tomorrow." I won't mind getting back home for a week. Nursing staff has been awesome. Everyone is pretty sharp. I make sure that I tell them. I have been very pleased with all my care at Yale since day one. I am lucky. It's come with a price but I'm lucky. Remember, NO negative thoughts. I need to nap. See ya later. FLY.

    Is there no therapy to assist him?  Tongue Out

    Try asking!

    Then duck!

    No surprise

    I can't quite remember whether I've ever read an IL2 account FROM THE PATIENT throughout the actual administration! Not that I'm really surprised - mark up yet another Fox first.  Same goes for being so lucid and rational through it! 

    Despite the first-class care, I'm sure you and your Family will be glad when you're back home for your break and you'll enjoy it as you always do everything - full throttle.

    Keep your eye on the prize...

    If it was fun everyone would be doing it...hang tuff!  Maybe Alice will respond concerning Mr. Wiggles' shrinkage problemWink  I can hear those tumors screaming about the way you are treating them all the way to Michigan, music to my ears brother!  Remember "EXTREME PREJUDICE" take no prisoners...WE LUV YOU MAN!!!

    Your adoring fan club...

    It sounds like with the peeling skin, you could use a few "fans."  Or is it that snakes shed their skin when they are growing into the new body.

    As we all have found out thru this experience, laughter and humor help pass the time.  It's too bad that Fox started all this, and we sure as H*** want him to be there for the finish.

    No matter what, there are a whole lot of us out here wishing you well and "enjoying" your live show.  When you get out, enjoy a Harley ride, more pizza and beer and all the fun stuff that goes with summer.

    Keep up the good cheer.  We luv ya.

    "As we all have found out thru this experience, laughter and humor help pass the time".

    Sure enough Donna.  Fox has revealed a factor that has introduced an 'ell of a new hazard into peeing!!

    It doesn't sound too pleasant but is not as un-ap-peeling as the fate that the papers reported befell a guy in northern Israel yesterday.  It seems that his one-eyed trouser-snake was bitten by a snake - probably not a thrill that would appeal to most of us more staid folks - I'll leave it to Alex to deliver expert comment on the issue.

    OMG!!!!

    Let me tell you that I have the utmost respect for everyone who has gone through this before me. And Nana did 6 rounds? Incredible!!!!!!!!!!

    This morning I experienced diarrhea, dry heaves, Massive chills and rigors that could be recorded by a seismograph. This all happened at the same time and lasted a good  hour. Almost broke me. I have never experienced anything close to how difficult it was. My skin is so red.  I feel like a toxic dump. If anyone thought that you only get the IL-2 infusions, forget about it. Meds for fever, blood pressure control, electrolyte control, nausea, vomiting, and many more. Some IV, some oral. I can't wait to get home and take a break. The cumalative effect is awesome. Amazing to think it will only take a few days to return to normal.  God, how I wish that all I had needed was the MDX. But that wasn't the case. so we do what we need to do. I feel pretty good right now but next infusion is in another hour or two. Let the trip begin. I know that I won't be posting tonite. Nighty night.

     

    don't know why this postedout of order? Probably me though. I am in donut land.

    I'd take a round for you if it would do any good!  Be strong, resolved, and tenacious!

    Expert comment

    Despite my years of selfless and tireless research, I never had experience with snake bites or peeling of this particular appendage. But I got a PhD equivalency in kissing the boo boo and making it better. And bigger.

    Wedge you surprise me. I thought I was the only one with my mind in the gutter.

    I recently read that the Scots invented hypnosis, chloroform and the hypodermic syringe. Wouldn't it just be easier to talk to a woman? 

    Foxy, babe hang in there. I keep my fingers and toes crossed for you speedy recovery.

    FOX ROCKS!

    I never thought anyone or anything could make Fox blush, but IL-2 proves me wrong.  I'm confident IL-2 will kick KC's butt.  I just wish it wouldn't try kicking yours too.

    Hang in there.
