The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

Well, this just made my night. No spoilers, but there was a big surprise on the latest episode of the Pod Meets World podcast. I voiced my surprise on their Instagram page and Danielle freaking Fishel liked my comment. (She played Topanga on Boy Meets World and co-hosts Pod Meets World)

I've said many times that I grew up on Boy Meets World. I'm close to the same age as the main actors. And I have loved the Pod Meets World podcast. I was never one for podcasts before but I'm hooked on this one.

I'm officially in a relationship.
Goddamn man, I am so fucking happy for you. Seriously. You and I have posted a lot of similar stuff over the years, especially about loneliness. I truly hope you bring each other all the happiness in the world and hope it leads to more happiness for you. You deserve it.

Now, if you could just slide some of that luck my way, that'd be awesome. :p

Hey man, I'll siphon any luck I can your way.
 
Figured I'd give you all a bit of an update on my wife (Maryse. Her name is Maryse)'s condition:

She's doing WAY better. There, update over. Move along, now, nothing to see here...

...

Oh FINE, if you insist. ;)

So, she was supposed to get a follow-up appointment with the oncologist on 13 February. In preparation for that, she got a blood test the previous week. Two days later, she gets a call from the oncology department saying the appointment's been postponed to 3 May (yes, May). Every health care professional we've talked to (nurses, family doctor, other cancer patients and specialists) agrees: That means the blood results are so good that there's no point in making her come in (we're roughly 2.5 hours away by car) just to tell her "everything's looking really good, things keep improving, we'll stay the course for another three months and then re-evaluate". Which is what we figured immediately, but it's nice to have confirmation.

While I wish the doctor (or at least the nurse) would've told us that directly and we didn't have to go looking for answers (we got definite proof with Maryse's family doctor, with whom she had an appointment a few days later, who looked at the results and saw a clear trend in the right direction once again), the news is so good it doesn't even matter. Her body's fighting and winning. She's got a PET scan on 15 March, so we'll know just how badly she's beating cancer then.

Add to that her back getting stronger by the day (still fragile, of course, she does have a damaged vertebra, and one that's QUITE load-bearing), morale is sky-high right now. Gotta love it when hard work pays off.

I love posting in this thread. :D

This is all great news to read! Wishing for further great new to continue in your direction.
 
Powerwolf show last night in Montreal, it was absolutely insane, everything I was hoping for, except no pyro (which I expected) and a couple of songs I wish they'd played.100% recommend, would see again. Venue was PACKED. Not a good place if you're claustrophobic.

Falk Maria Schlegel (keyboardist/cheerleader) is a delight to watch. He looks like a kid having a blast (it helps that he looks like he weighs like 80 pounds soaking wet).

The band seemed rather taken aback at the welcome they got. Really appreciated frontman Attila Dorn speaking in French for most of the show, too. Very nice touch, and despite what he says, his French is very good.

Seven Kingdoms opened for them, which no one knew about, as they were never advertised and they were NOT in New York the night before (the singer mentioned they were a very last minute surprise addition). They brought the house down, great band I barely know and should explore more.
