One of the benefits of being a male teacher is that around Christmas and the end of the year, the families want to give the teachers gifts but don’t know what to get the guy teachers. I end up with a lot of Dunkin gift cards and Amazon gift cards. I cashed out a stack of Amazon cards for some...

Getting sick has some upsides. The family went big and got me a Switch Lite for my B-Day! I’ve gotta get caught up on this thread now!

Way to go, Terrik!

I just realized I’ve fallen behind on updating here!

I’m still okay with not owning it. Something that big is definitely going to suffer from loose joints within a couple years - the limbs would just be too heavy. The color changes around the planet-mode maw and the unpainted teeth really look throw off the whole look for me, too.

Nobody took 8 days? I’ll take that if it’s not too late.

Silhouettes! Silhouettes in every strip!

It looks really good. They’ll have finally done Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge Justice in plastic form. 1616260829 Beast Wars Megs is a very good figure.

Oh, yeah. They install the new one next to your bladder and hook it up down there. The old ones putter along for a little longer as the new one starts up, and eventually just stop working. You walk out with more kidneys than you started with. Freakiest thing is that they put in a stent to keep...

Had my pre-transplant meeting today - a 7 hour marathon of meeting everyone on the team, getting tests done, (18 vials of blood taken today) and signing off on a lot of paperwork. It was...pretty overwhelming. I did not know they leave the original kidneys in and just install the new one next...

Yes! I’m enjoying it. Did you see David Kaye did a reading of one of the scenes? It’s short, but great.

Aaaaannnnnd the results sucked. The creatinine jumped three whole points, which is really, really not good. It could be the diuretic I’m on is drying me out too much now and dehydrating me. We’re going to go off them for a week, get new tests, and see what they say. Might be looking at dialysis...

Got blood work today - first since the chemo and about a month after starting the new drug - but I won’t get the results until tomorrow. Fingers crossed for any kind of reversal of recent testing trends. Also have my first pre-transplant meeting scheduled for April. I’ll be meeting the team...

I had an idea and made a thing.

You know what - I might have mixed up my shrimp names. That’s why I post here!

I think I might have a theme for my coloring book project - insane animal facts. Cartoon animal drawings and slightly educational might just be a fun way to go.

Fresh update: I haven’t had any blood tests since the chemo, but I have had the diuretic adjusted with good results. I’m down fourteen pounds of fluid weight, and I’m getting through each day with only a little bit of fluid retention - some days with virtually none. It’s a world of difference...
