That's the next step - cloning yourself for blood transfusions.
Well, at least Vino doesn't have to worry about being the #1 story in cycling any more. I'd be afraid to win tomorrow.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My poor Mom has a neurological condition that causes generally lousy health in addition to periodic paralysis, organ shut downs, migraines, etc. She's constantly on and off of steroids, anti-biotics, pain meds, anti-inflamatories, muscle relaxers, etc.
I always tell her I want to take her to a doctor who dopes athletes -- they're masters of balancing the steroids and the blood products and the HGH and all the other goodies so they won't get detected... surely they'd be equiped to keep her at maximum functionality and they wouldn't even have to bother to hide their work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not all steroids are created equally, Trudy. Is your mother on synthetic testosterone?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh? I'm confused.
Jon Stewart showed a clip from the debate -- of my semi-coworker and her partner asking the question about gay marriage -- and then made some comment about how it "personalized the issues," and THEN said, "Jen, you could do so much better!"
It's hilarious that you know them! I just watched it a few minutes ago, and thought, "Man, somewhere those ladies are jumping up and down because not only were they on the debate, they were on TDS too!"
It is totally hilarious.

Mom has been on a variety of steroids at various strenghts and for various lengths of time.
It's an elaborate dance. What will allow her to function but not damage her kidneys or something else.
Her current doctor seems better at it than the last, he is very on top of her symptoms, ramps her on then ramps her off, and doesn't just hand her a new perscription and send her home.
For my Sister's wedding, for example, he timed her medication cycle so the best three days in it would be before, of, and after.

Autologous transfusions seem even less like doping! I mean, doping is the wrong word in that you aren't using a drug. Cheating, I guess, would be the right one.

Yeah--cheating's whatever the governing body says it is, no more and no less.
I had one more stranger compliment my corset today. I recommend that more women should wear them more often.

What ita said. I've been coveting a couple different underbust corsets lately, which is what will probably finally motivate me to do some eBay auctions of things.
