[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All the ~ma to you and DH, Connie!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Tons of ~ma for your DH, Connie and for you as well. I hope that the treatments are as easy on him as possible.

Sending so many good thoughts your way, Connie and Hubby.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Wow, quiet in here today.

So, one down. He did not have the reactions they were afraid of, so that's one hurdle down. He feels pretty good at the moment. We were warned that Wednesday will probably be different. He has to go in twice more this week for other drugs. Transporting him is going to be a little complicated, but we should be able to work it. If he sits for an hour or so, if today is any gauge, he is capable of driving himself.

A woman came in part way through, grey-faced, uncommunicative, supported by her husband and sister. She'd had her first dose three days ago. I was staring at her, seeing what I was sure would be my husband in a few days. However, turns out she hadn't thought the nausea was bad enough for the drugs, and the swelling and reddening around her incision wasn't really that bad. Hubby is far smarter than that.

I was not impressed with the staff. We accept that all patients are different and YMMV, but the staff refused to give anything resembling a clear answer, even for "So I have to come back Tuesday and Wednesday?" "Maybe? Is that what you were told?" "Yes. Don't you have it written down?" "I'm not sure." "Can you check?" "I think so."

5 more rounds taking most of a week, three weeks apart. We shall see.
