I posted for a while on my favorite forums, which include [URL="http://www.bigsoccer.com"]BigSoccer[/URL] and [URL="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com"]CysticFibrosis.com[/URL]. While at the latter, I learned of a very close call, which still may not work out. "Pepe", a young woman with CF, went into complete pulmonary failure a couple of days ago. She was put on an ECMO machine, which apparently breathes for her (anybody know about this?), up to about 10 days, which is not much time. Well...her new lungs were available 8 hours later, and she went in for transplant, which was successful, at least as far as the procedure went.

Unfortunately, within a few hours, she started bleeding internally, and was rushed back in for another 7 or so hours of surgery. Still no word as to whether she survived.

I feel distant, but shocked in a way, kind of like Di's death or 9/11. She is not a friend, but a friend of a friend, and, dare I use the word..."popular". You kind of hope she makes it. It does conjure up memories of when an actual CF friend of mine had her transplant. A happy, suspenseful, tiresome time. But we eventually parted ways with our friendship. No one's fault, just a disagreement on things.

As far as fireworks, it was limited to Channel 11's coverage of local fireworks, followed by Channel 2's airing Boston's big hoo-rah. I had to go to Target to get some groceries, and that couldn't wait. Among other things, I got me some nutella, but for the life of me, I have no clue what to spread it on.

I also looked into getting a tub of Vegemite online from an Aussie goods importer. But how the heck do you make a Vegemite sandwich? Some folks say you butter the bread first, others say you don't. Any experience with this?

I finally got my surgical consultation appointment at Hillman Cancer Center to see how my recent MRI's and X-Ray went, and see if they reccommend spinal cord surgery. My mother will be in town from California, but not my father. My mother is extremely emotional and high strung. I am not. We clash. It gets annoying. I secretly hope she is not around for my surgery if I have it.

Heartburn heartburn heartburn! I had a chicken salad croissant, a bag of Doritos and a water at Target. I'm afraid to sleep! ]]> Footed P.J. http://www.adisc.org/forum/blogs/footed-p-j/560-hey-hey-hey-blog-space.html
