OT remission in remission

My remission went into remission and the kidney disease returned
with a vengeance. Actually, it's more of an auto-immune disease with
my kidneys being the innocent victims. Since the first course of
chemo didn't work I started a different one today. Naturally, if
I need it and it's expensive, the insurance won't pay for it, but
that's a worry for another day. I finally got a dose of Rituximab
today over the course of seven-and-half-hours with an IV in my arm.

I'd dearly love to hit the stream tomorrow with riverman and the
gear whore but I'm afraid I'm a little too pooped.

I am going to get out eventually though, perhaps as soon as this
weekend and me & the new puppy will fish, camp and canoe until I
have to do it all again. TR to follow.

Take care, and get well soon Ken,

I look forward to a TR with your new pup.

I sincerely wish you the best
As we get older we have to be more careful of what we eat and drink
I had to change my whole diet - gluten free & no eggs - YUM - I love eggs
esp as we have our own chickens - but alas no more eggs for me
Stay healthy - you have years of training, fishing and enjoyment ahead of
you with your beautiful pup.

Ken, I'm truly sorry to hear this. Keep your chin up and fight it hard.

Sorry to hear this, Ken. Hope you're feeling better soon.

I look forward to your next TR.

I went through some rough **** that was threatening to shut down my
kidneys about four years ago. The drugs they use these days and the
drugs they use to manage the side effects are amazing and I have
confidence you will be flailing the water soon. Stay rested.

Very sorry to hear of your most recent health issue. I sincerely hope
the new chemo works, and you ant the puppy are back on the river soon.

i am unhappy with this kind of news. stop saying **** like that. write
that you are getting completely well, then you won't **** me off. you know
how i get.

Thanks old friend, and thanks to all for the well wishes. It
doesn't surprise me that my auto-immune system is an ornery
sumbitch, it is *my* system after all. ;-) But I *will* kick
its ass and I *will* be on a stream real soon now.

Thanks everybody, there's no place like roff.

Hmm, try the seven iron. It can be used to hook the nurse. Keep
fighting.

Keep in mind you do have a new hunting dog that is counting
on you to shoot birds for her for the next decade or so.
