Like Tiger said, "I CAIN'T"
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Honestly mine went very well. Nothing to exciting about it, just pleasant. Here's a Chronicle from coming home Friday.
Part of my routine has become going straight from the hospital to get a treatment of acupuncture. While normally creating a noticeably relaxing, and positive effect, this last one created a bit of a memorable situation.
As I've explained, they truly open the IV floodgates during my stay in Durham. The goal is to keep me going to the bathroom at least once an hour to keep my system flushed and protect my kidneys and bladder from the chemo. Other than gaining 15lbs each treatment and looking like King Kong Bundy, it's been tolerable. I will have to say life has been interesting and an eighth of a ton. What an accomplishment.
So....I'm on the acupunture table Friday about 30 minutes into the treatment. Combined with the 45 drive to the place from the hospital and no bathroom break,options and strategies begin.
Simultaneously, a potential client having just finished their initial consultation enters in the hallway....
Looking like Hellraiser meets Bald Bull from Mike Tyson's Punch Out, I made my way down the hall with needles in my arms, legs, forehead, ear, and stomach, strolling casually past an unexpecting Ashley, the owner, his new client, and the receptionist.
Funny image. I'm still laughing thinking about it.
Thanks for checking in. As if this year wasn't crazy enough, the Deacs are 9-1....?

C.P.,
You continue to make me laugh. I might be able to top your story with one from my 3 year old Matthew. As we are strolling through KMart(yes, our only store in Clinton) Matthew decides he needs to go...well, I turn to find my other child down the toy aisle so we can all go to the restroom and when I come back to retrieve Matthew he has dropped trou and is peeing on a lovely new Christmas tree with a white felt skirt. In full stream he simply can't stop... I'd like to tell you that I'm a proud owner of a new tree, but in reality I got the hell out of Dodge and never looked back.
See ya,

p.s. I look forward to seeing Fleming and Kirk over Thanksgiving.
Clark did the same thing in '84 in Littleton. The only differences were us being at a Eagles and him making it outside to a small tree by the sidewalk. I think I was trying on some Devil Dogs.
we love a blog that mentions king kong bundy!
