more good news from your prodigal friend

[moreagain]

Next Wednesday, I'll be on a flight to Boston to participate in a pre-trial-trial of a procedure that promises to cure type I diabetes, lupus, ms, and possibly other autoimmune disorders. Basically, a few cells are taken from a healthy, live donor spleen and injected into a non-functioning pancreas such as mine. The spleen cells take over and

Wow girl, good luck. You're bravery is so very admirable. Seeing as I've lived through family dying from the advanced complications of Diabetis, I know the horrors well, and it's amazing that I know someone who will be there to put an end to the affliction. I'm beyond happy and proud.

Thanks, that means a lot to me, Mat. :)

Splentastic!

Wow, this is fantastic... splendid... splentastic, even! I can't tell you how happy I am to hear about this, especially that it's not you posting to say that you've found the cure in some crazy, super-radioactive monkey-pill that has these awful side-effects, but all in all, it's worth it. No good! I mean, this sounds really great. They haven't tried this type of thing earlier? Come on people. We could've done this years ago with a steak knife and a coat hanger! I am so joking, sorry. I'll try to see you before you leave, so I can give you many hugs. I got dibs on taking you out for insane amounts of ice-cream and watching you totally not check your blood sugar. It sounds like it may take a while to reach that point, but still. Best of luck to you!

Oops, forgot to close the italics on "totally". Well, we'll just pretend I put a lot of emphasis on the whole last part of that comment.
