I'm sitting in my office at work. Trying to kill time before I go home. A bit too early to leave, but my work for the day is done, so it's TB/FB time.

Nope. Been taking a cancer fighting drug, some side-effects that they want to look at.

Have at it I guess. I'll just sleep through it...read the report.

At work, catching up on paperwork and waiting for the shop to call and tell me what it's going to cost to fix the car after I I hit a curb with the RF wheel last week.

Nope, I spent most of today on the phone with robots, at the police station and at the Service Canada office.

I still have to do some stuff to get my driver license and medical insurance cards replaced but by this time tomorrow everything should be set.

I also bought a new wallet.

Ah, that's right, my apologies. I wish you well in any scenario. Be strong, good mojo your way.
A lot of Crohn's in my family, so I get the ole scope more often than I'd prefer...

That's the spirit

Are you getting your treatments in France or Switzerland?

It will be in Basel, Switzerland and it may be only once if lucky. It will be radio nuclear therapy, developed at that hospital. Excellent survival rate. That said, here's the shocker: I have pancreatic cancer and it has spread to my liver. Not many walk away from that. The cancer I have is very rare and I have probably had it for two years. The treatment will blast it out. No chemo therapy involved. Downright bizarre. Around 1% of pancreatic cancer victims get what I have.

Back to the OP: I'm sitting in the kitchen of our 200 year old stone barn, converted to a house. In France.

Where are you Ziltoid? We share the same passport.

The land of overcrowded ER where you have to wait a year or more for a specialist, Québec

Best of luck again!

I'm sitting reading posts on TB, with a terrier on my lap, and a German Shepherd sitting next to me. They're both bored cause it's been raining like hell here for 2 days, but I've been teaching Sir Zachary (the GS) to answer my iPhone. He learned quickly enough, except he keeps grabbing it and giving it to me even when it's not ringing. I think I might have made a serious miscalculation with this training exercise. Ah well, live and learn.

Finishing cleaning up an excavator... My resident operator left it in a hole last night, and we got rained on... Bad deal

Thanks. Was diagnosed in 2009. 3years of chemo, now on maintenance. On the way there, (a friend drove me cause of the sedation), my friend's letting me borrow his pre-EB MM Stingray. The same guy I borrowed the '74 P from.

Fun times indeed. I have a feeling I'm gonna like this one. So far MM's haven't bonded well with me. Have a Bongo too & that one is lackluster...was expecting a range of tones. Coming from Precision land, not much else compares...yet.

Other than that, I am eating after 24 hours of no food prior to the 'procedure'.
