Finally, Some Really Great News!!!

I haven't posted much about my health lately because...well, because this is the internet and I don't know what kind of freaks are monitoring my life. But I have received everyone's emails, IM's, phone calls, and what nots and I'm really grateful for all of the kind words and thoughts (especially Trojan and Stephen C.). And yes, you can send me chocolate. Especially hot chocolate mix because I've been drinking all of my roommate's and it's only a matter of time before she gets pissed.
So anyway, on Saturday I had to go to the hospital yet again for some test results. Usually this is a pretty depressing part of my life, but this time it was GOOD NEWS!!! Apparently, a strict diet of alcohol, chocolate, and shin ramyeon is a life saver because my platelets have climbed above 20,000!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! I'm not totally out of the woods yet as I'm still on an ass load of meds, but it's a great sign and I'm really, really happy with the news!!
That being said, everyone (and I mean everyone) head over to MINO'S BLOG and thank him for sharing the wonderful advice on hospitals, different care centers, doctors, etc. If he hadn't given me that advice I might be in pretty bad shape right now. Thanks Mino!!

Speaking of Mino, I met him and Jae-ho tonight for some beers, some homework, and some sort of meat product. I didn't take any photos, but here's an older one I never posted. It was taken back in September, when the 3 of us went to Everland for my birthday.

OK, why are you still reading this?? Go to his blog and thank him!!!!
