We're just hanging out tonight playing Yachtzee and listening to "Excursions" on KRFC (the radio show that Torger normally does with his pal Randy). Torger has really been missing the chance to do their annual Christmas show, but Randy's been doing a great job flying solo. So far he's played some Julie Andrews, Claudine Longet, James Brown, and Flaming Lips!
We're having a restful day after a pretty hectic week. On Wednesday, Torger had to have four separate biopsies so they could check different parts of his body for levels of GVHD: back, arm, inner thigh, and face. He was pretty miserable for the rest of the night after getting four shots and then having four chunks of skin cut out. But the results came back last night and the doctors are happy with his GVHD levels, so that was good news. We did learn another interesting tidbit this week: Since the transplant, Torger's developed a couple of deep, parallel ridges on each of his fingernails. One of our regular nurses, Erin, told us that's because fingernails often fall out after transplant, but apparently Torger's nails resisted it. Yikes! We're kind of glad we didn't know that one at the time.

I have had a fingernail fall out after what was basically a shot of chemo. You don't want that. I'm glad he's kept his.
Sorry about your pain. Times are tough indeed. Remember, folks. We are always at war.
