Back in the Sauna

Well that was a fast 10 days... Seattle is awesome! I'll miss it...

I just got back to SoFlo a few hours ago, what a long day... I don't think you can fly much farther in the lower 48. I flew Continental and amazed how bad the customer service has gotten for that airline. I used to fly them often when I lived out West and don't remember them being that bad, ugh... I had a $250 voucher in my hand after volunteering to give up my seat (as they were oversold) only to have it taken away from me after they made a "mistake". I was then forced to check my carry on bag, give up my original seat and was given a middle seat in the back of a packed plane, ugh. Previous to this, I was amazed to witness several instances where agents were talking back to customers in ways you shouldn't be talking to customers, totally unprofessional... I usually stay pretty cool in airport situations because experience tells me getting upset only makes a bad situation worse and I happen to be frying bigger fish anyway ;). For my troubles, they gave me a free drink voucher, jeez...

So I’m back in steamy Delray Beach for a couple of days before I fly up to New York to do the required blood draw and visit with Dr. O’Connor. Like I mentioned, I’m excited to go to Shea Stadium (it’s called something else now but I still call it Shea) next Tuesday night to see my Tigers take on the Mets! We’ve been hot lately winning 6 in a row so hopefully they’ll keep it going…

By the way, I read some good news recently regarding fellow Hodge Warriors (Matt from Colorado and Neil from Toronto ) who went through a stem cell transplants and had a poor prognosis (primary refractory like me) and are actually clean after 9 and 12 month scans respectively! Congrats fellas.

Time to get some much needed Zzzzz's. Not sure why I posted except maybe to let everyone know where I am at the moment. Seems like I'm all over the place these days ;) The plan is to enjoy my week off from the pills wherever I am!

Probably update next from New York...
