Well...........................Looks like i'm down to just crunching here at work for the challenge.
Times are a tad tighter than I thought they would be. No net service when I got home last night. Payday comes a week from today so I can pay the bill.
Wish I could bring my server and tower in here but alas it's not my business. No wu's means no crunch. Sorry team.
When I moved into the place were at now I thought small abode means little wood to burn but shes per drafty and I'm outta wood. Using the Electric rads but that just makes the power bill higher. Come on spring. lol. It's actually not bad it's only a week. I just feel bad for the timing is all.
Also I'm not sure if you guys noticed but I haven't been around or active much. That is due to my Mom(57) She was rushed to the hospital 3 weeks ago with dizzy spells and shortness of breath. She thought she was just getting sick but turns out she was not producing enough red cells to carry oxygen to her brain. You guessed it. After a 2 bag trans. She was told it looked like AAL. (she should have had 4 bags but they didn't want to bork the tests)
That was 3 Sat's ago. Two days later they had a spot for her at the Victorian General's Leukemia ward in Halifax. After some more tests( Marrow and Spinal tap) They determined that it was indeed A.A.L.
She has been going through Chemo for just over a week.(Still has her hair) and Myself and direct family have been down there every chance we get. Dad is off for 4 weeks( He had that much time built in back sick days
.Gov job) So he has been making the 1.5 hr trip everyday. His union kicked in to donate some prepaid Visa's for fuel so he is very happy. I'm on weekend patrol with a day extra mid week for an extra trip. ( My Boss rocks ).
As of yesterday her white cells ere gone and Platlets were at 12% so she is under quarrantine now. The doc's say it's to early to tell if she is getting better but she is slated for another round of Marrow and Tap aft the weekend.
The small spark in all this is my Mom's personality and drive. She is well humored to the point of making the staff at the hospital blush. But they are all awesome and act like she is at a private clinic in palm springs. It's great.
She is right at the point where her chances of remission are better than they would have been 5 yrs from now so that's a relief. I on the other hand am impatient for the next test results.
Been a busy few weeks guys. I'll be back full swing some time soon but for now it's just popping in at work from time to time to keep up to date.
Want to welcome all the awesome new members as well. Congrats on joining the best team in the world. You'll like it here. Everyone is awesome.
One for each of you.( 5 right? .)
