Bahamas Update

Hello Everyone - Things here are going very well. The doctors say that I am responding well to the treatments. I am sure that a lot of you have questions about what they do down here so I will give you a quick overview on what a typical day is like. I have to be at the Clinic by 7:00 am Monday thru Friday for a morning blood draw. They use this to benchmark how I am progressing and also to prepare my medication for the day. This usually lasts till about 8:00am. From there I will usually take a long walk and go to the gym(the gym here is not pretty. I think that they are using equipment from the 1950s). I then have to be back to the Clinic by 10:00am to pick up my injections for the day. I get between 7 and 9 shots that are to be self injected at specific times throughout the day. I like it better when there is only 7. On Mondays and Thursdays I have an infusion of vitamin c which usually lasts for about 2 hours and occasionally I have a meeting with a doctor to discuss my progression. All in all this keeps me pretty busy. Oh, by the way, just an FYI if anyone decides to vacation here, I did find out today that it is not standard practice to wear a thong on the beach. I was surprised when security asked me to leave the beach due to the fact that I was scaring the children and someone had called the marine stranding center to report a beached whale. Oh well, there goes that $90.00 I spent on my brazillan wax. (KIDDING!!!!!!) Thank you all again for your prayers and support. On the next update I will include pictures. Have a great day.

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps

Glad you're doing well and hopefully no longer scaring children but damn, you must be a pin cushion. 
Keep in touch.

I'm glad it's working. 
7 to 9 injections a day??? You're my hero. I hate all sort of needles.
Good luck & PF days,
