Something to do with lasers, there was a red light played over Hubby's skin and the vessels showed up at dark spots.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ita has sidestepped the problem. But yes, Typo, I had a similar thought.

I'm so glad they found a way to make the IV less onerous and that the echocardiogram was good. I hope the bone marrow tests work out well, too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Lady! Would you have time to do dinner or coffee or something??? (I really don't want to give the Creation Museum my money, although knowing that you're going is making me more inclined to maybe go.)

I am hoping so!! I would LOVE to see you!!
I'm going because I am interested in the museum. I don't believe what they do, but I'm interested in the museum and in the debate. I am choosing to believe that my ticket price is all going to Bill Nye's appearance fee. Heh.
Plus, if ever I get into a debate with a parent about teaching creationism, I want to be able to say, "You know, I've done some research and blah blah blah." instead of just saying, "Not science." Which, it totally isn't science, but I want to have more than that. If that makes sense. Being Christian and considering myself a scientist is interesting at times.
Plus, I'm a total sucker for animatronic dinosaurs.

Yay! Even if I don't go (although, man, I loves me some Bill Nye), we will meet up for sure!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Neat new medical technology! The nurse pulled out a nifty whiz bang gadget that showed the blood vessels under Hubby's skin to decide wehre to put the IV. So very, very cool, and long awaited. One poke, and it was in, no hunting, probing, saying "No, that one's not going to work, let's try over there."
Want! For when I do blood drive. Feeling like a pin cushion is not incentive for donating blood.

My good friend who was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer visited one of his oncologists today in preparation for possible inclusion in a Hopkins study.
The doctor showed him the cancer cells and pointed out how the cancerous nucleus is much, MUCH larger than a healthy cell nucleus.
He said, “Now you can visualize the cells, and you can visualize the elimination of the cancer cells.”
How terrifically refreshing and supportive.
I've figured out that I can take a commuter train from Union Station to the cancer center in Baltimore, even easier than I could travel from my house to his on the Metro. I hope I'll be able to go up and be with him a few times. The treatments with be simultaneous chemo and radiation, so...not awesome. Except, in their effect, I hope.
He now has tattoos to guide the radiation beam. I have a photo of the tats and am going to ask my tattoo guy to plan a cool design to refine them when the treatment succeeds.
