i didnt want to make this too public but im getting really bored here. i have been in the hospital over a week now and i am losing my mind . i have the xbox hooked up and read my share of magazines but i think i have 3-4 days before i get to go home and not be under 24/7 watch. any sugestions to help pass the next few days?

 

I was gonna come see you tomarrow,even though will failed to call me. want me to bring you anything.

 

Hope you are alright bud.

 

if you need directions you can try to call me. ill try to stay awake. nothing i can think of that will help me. but if you have anything you want to bring then thats awesome too!

 

Check your e-mail bro

 

Get well and keep reading those magazines. Pretty soon you'll be outta there. What happened to you anyways, if you don't mind me asking? Nothing serious I hope.

 

i dont mind sharing now that i am more confident with what i have. i have been diagnosed with lymphoma which is a cancer that attacks the lymphnodes and in my case, the spleen . it prevents blood cells from being produced in the bone marrow. i have had 6 blood transfusions since i got here. my body can hardly do it on its own anymore. i should have biopsy results in the next day or two. then i can start the proper chemo treatment and go home. chances its the 'good' hodgkins cancer makes my chance of full recovery really great. i am confident i will come out of this just fine.

 

sorry to hear about ur situation travis. i hope everything turns out ok. may i ask what was ur symptoms.

 

Holy crap!

When did all this start happening, Travis? Harjeet -- what's up with you?

Concerned,

Mike

 

i havnt been well for a few months. its always been a lack of energy,extra pale and feeling colder then you should. i would get very disoriented when i would go from a sit or laying or even crouching position. sometimes i would get up and almost pass out. but iron pills took care of that so i thought being tired and wearing jackets to work was normal for the last 4 months. for a neat fact your average white blood cell count should be about fifteen. mine lingers around 1.6 on average.

 

delete please. double post

 

Wow, so when do you find out about your diagnosis?

 

Damn man, sorry to hear about all this. I was wondering where you've been. Get well soon bud. When did you finally go into the hospital?

 

when i'm feeling down i go to stickdeath.com and watch stick figures wrestle and beat the crap out of each other. it makes me feel better and i'm no longer bored! try it out.

 

Sorry to hear about that, I hope you make a full recovery.

 

nothing is wrong with me mike. my brother in law father had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and i was wondering if travis had similar symptoms. im my bro in laws father case, he had lymphoma in is back area, and for over 10yrs he thought he had severe back problems. lack of energy is a common occurances for cancers patients

 

the no energy really sucks when your trying to build a car. i would be out there, remove a bolt or two and call it a day.

 

We're all still wishing you the best bro and praying for a speedy recovery.

Keep your head up, tough times don't last but tough people do.

 

sounds like me

 

need to open a traviz fund and send him a stripper nurse that would cheer him up and make his day!

But hey hope you get well and have a speedy recovery!

In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan.

 

I have all my boys in Santa Barbara praying for your speedy recovery.

 

Travis... PM for you. Please get back to me soon.

 

Hope everything went well bro, and that all signs lead to a quick recovery

 

I hope you get well soon.

 

well i got my spinal tap and it went suprisingly well but the two bone marrow biopsy left my *** in a sore pain (is ok to laugh). ive puked twice from my first chemo treatment. i hope friday is easier on me.

 

oh del its friday 7am where are you im dieing to see fresh faces

 

Sorry to hear about the puking. Stay strong. Keep that positive attitude. My prayers are with you. It looks like you have plenty of people praying for you. Daniel U P.S. If you get bored you can read my '54 build thread:

It's about 10 pages long.....lol

 

dont ever do chemotherapy for fun i think im just getting over the puking and its day two since my first session.

 

my sister always said that chemotherapy feels just like ur pregnant

 

Looks like I'm going to Sac tomorrow morning with an arrival around lunch. I don't know jack about the area around Madison but it will be interesting to see a city I've never been to before and it will be good to see Travis.

Anybody else interested in a visit to the party wing at the San Juan medical center?

 

Dude, where are you at on Madison? Coyle?
I didn't see it posted wtf you are at.
That's pretty damn close to me.

You have a phone # there?
I picked up a few mags and will definitely come by Saturday.

Mike, I can try to make it out there in the afternoon, definitely after 1pm, not sure.

 

Get well soon bro....

 

I'm leaving here around 10AM. That'll put me there 12:30 - 1, I reckon.

I PM'd you my mobile number.

 

thanks for everyones support here today, It means so much to me to see all of you travel 2+ hours just to check up on me, even you most Mike(Cadillac). You have only met me once before and you still come to see me. You guys are truly awesome I know who my friends are when I need them. Thanks for all your support. I am home now and good for a hasty recovery. I am doing twice a month for the next six months so wish me luck on a easy recovery from that. I will talk to you guys later. Time for some rest in my cozy ol'e home.

 

Travis actually got discharged today, so the 6 of us met up at Dennys.
Nice impromptu meet guys, under the circumstances.
Good to see the faces that I haven't seen much this year.

From Left -> Right, excluding me. (Cadillac Mike took another)

On a side note, I'll be updating the sticky up top with some "newbie" rules of thumb, as a couple of you mentioned.

This thread is a great example of the positive light this area we have here on the interw3b is and the friendships and new beginnings that are possible.

Not posting here due to minor issues with the site is not an excuse. Let's get it together in '08 for those who still have love for the 3rd gen.

Sorry I couldn't make it today Travis, my wife is sick and I had to help with the kids. I hope to see you soon. I doub't, wait this is you we're talking about, when you start working on the Iroc and you need a hand I will be more than happy to drive down and help out. Good to hear you're at home, I've been thinking and praying for you all week. Get well soon and again let me know if you need anything.
