Random Events/Musings

-One more round of radiation this afternoon ... transplant tomorrow then just gotta get on with the healing!
-They keep sending porters [Transporters] up to take me to radiation.  They show up with wheelchairs but I walk so they leave them outside my room.  Then when its done they say are you OK ... yup so I walk back myself.  Got back the other afternoon and there were three wheelchairs outside my room ...
-Nothing to the radiation ... I asked but they don't have SPF 5000.
-They do play some good tunes for me.  Stones, Blue Rodeo about 30-45min worth.
-Been busy so far going out for lunch and supper enjoying freedom before lock down tomorrow.  Keg supper again last night and a beer with my brother and friend on a nice patio.  Didn't realise I was going to have this freedom beforehand.
-Came back last night late and the nurses had done shift change ... one never seen me before and was startled to see someone come in so late.
'Uh can I help you?'
'Yeah just going to check in for the night.'
'Oh are you a patient?'
show wristband 'Yeah I think so' :)
-Doctor told me today my donor is B+ blood also so that won't change .... donate blood if you can it helps ... esp if you're B+ ;)
-I asked the nurse if it would help if I gave my new donor cells a little pep talk before to play nice with mine and we'll all get along.  I can be pretty fun ... I promise we'll have some good times ... so good they'll never get published on here!
-Never been a big Blue Rodeo fan but started to listen to them a little ... got a kick listening to this song yesterday afternoon on the tanning bed ... thought I'd post the lyrics.

Sometimes you lose your head
Think of all the stupid things you've said
Pouring out of your mouth
Like rain through a broken windowpane

Nobody made you do it
There's a hoop and you jump through it
You made this mess all by yourself


What did you say?
I thought I said everything there was for me to say
How could you know?
I looked into her eyes, I thought they were telling me so

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy
I took my chances, eyes wide open
Stayed too long and the spell was broken

Nobody wants to see
The mess you become so easily
Crawling around and singing your sad songs
Late into the night

Must be the words you're choosing
The unconvincing smile you're using
Try and try again, you can't get it right

What did you do?
I poured my heart out til my words filled the room
How did it go?
She smiled and took my hand, said it's all just a little too soon.

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy
Save your tears, I never earned them
Lessons are there, but I never learn them at all

Every night the same old game
Fumbling around for some stranger's name
Or going out of your mind
Waiting for the phone to finally ring

I know life can be so messy
But you can't spend all your time confessing
Try saving something for yourself

What did you say?
I thought I said everything there was for me to say
How could you know?
I looked into her crying eyes, they were telling me so

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy
Save your breath, I never listen
You think I don't know something's missing
But now I'll wait and see
How it all turns out for me
It's not as painful as they tell you
Some success in every failure
Now I know I can handle the pain
I'll stand here waiting, hope it all happens again

Nothing too exciting, just making the most of it.  As fun as its been looking forward to all the best life has to offer once this is a memory.  Thanks for emails, texts and comments its good to hear from everyone.
