MSF, here I come!

I might have just landed a volunteer gig as an interpreter for Doctors Without Borders, the coolest of the cool!

Other things done instead of working on dissertation.

> Saw Laurencin paintings at the art museum. (Paris,... so what?)

> Saw Munch paintings at another art museum. (Awesome, not as dark as you think.)

> Saw Bach's 'Matthew's Passion' by the Thomenchor (The real deal) at the Symphony Hall.

> Took a class from the premier academic in my field. (Rod Ellis)

> Made cakes and gave them away.

> Made spaghetti.

> Friend Blake came over from Tokyo.

> Got Bose speakers that hook up wireless for my bathroom, so I can listen in the shower.
(Now the whole house plays the same music)

> Downloaded lots of music and beefed up the sound library.

> Watched 2 years worth of Grey's Anatomy on 'youku' where you can watch any TV show like a youtube screen.

A factor of more than ten.

I was ecstatic in the docs office when he saw the viral load test. They've decreased to less than 1/10th what they were contradictory to what he"d predicted before the results came in!!! Remember enzymes are a tad up. This therefore means there is an immune system battle happening now. Me and meds verses goonie critters and some liver cells are collateral damage. This is to be expected and not dangerous. Enzymes were higher than that before.
This was awesome news! Statistically, clearing totally by week 4 is very significant and means treatment will most likely be successful, and with the initial high load, I'm not there, but on the reverse side having no decrease in critters by week 28 can mean it won't work and I'm way out of that zone!!!!!! Congrats to me and knock on wood! Doc says taking it easy is important now. No workaholic stuff. That's easy.

Blood test

At week 4, there was a blood test but the nurse screwed up and forgot to put blood in the tube for viral load, I went in a few days later and gave again but this delayed the result. It hasn't come back yet, but the enzymes haven't dramatically dropped off so doc estimates that I haven't had an incredidble response yet. He figures the 12 week mark will be more of an indicator. Since at the beginning the viral load was high, it would be unreasonable to expect to be cleared by week 4. In any case, I'm interested in the results so I will go in and ask for those again sometime this week. Video below.

Mom's pissed at home depot. Etrade is my peeve.

Those guys won't let me change the PIN on my debit card. 30 emails, hours on the phone, 4 PIN reminders fed-exed, and a total of three debit cards issued. There is a missing reference number that the robot asks for. VISA operator handles this so Etrade doesn't know. Can't find their arse in the dark. Finally the big excuse is that when they send PINs abroad, they don't allow you to 'personalize' it. .. Come on!!! You are supposed to change your PIN at regular intervals or anytime you think it's been compromised!!!!! Loose security or more likely, a lie to shut me up. I told them to cancel all of the debit cards. I'm gonna send letters to VISA and Etrade and force them to be accountable on paper.
