play an rts those only take one hand

You need a scribe.

man this is even worse than if I started chemo normally today like the original plan because now I have all the way till Saturday in the hospital.

IN THE HOSPITAL, I don't even get to go home.

ugh I'm going to lie down. cancer treatment blows!

Why only one hand? Did you lose the other one?

the IV kind of stresses me out and I like to not move that arm much!

emailing doc now to find out if I'm in all day at the hospital. if I will be, I'll see you all on...Saturday I think. if not, we'll talk later.

not that I'm going to sleep or anything, just wanted to get that out there in case I disappear mysteriously.

keep suggesting stuff I'll be checking the thread if anyone got good things.

on the plus side you get free meals until the weekend

have you ever had hospital food.

it is terrible.

But it won't fall if you move your arm don't be so paranoid

hey inri cheetos no thanks.

I'd recommend getting some stand up or something to watch, if you do have internet you can watch plenty of movies and series (whatever you feel like watching) on youtube.  I'd also recommend getting some sort of simple game that you can play for a long time.  An RTS was not a bad idea, but it would probably be better to get a straight up strategy game like...Tropico or something, or something like Civilization that is turn based, anything with combat might be hard with one hand because you have to move too fast.  I dunno, get some shit like The Sims or something that you can play for a while.  Just look for something that isn't too heavy (if you end up not feeling well you don't want something too engaging).  Any sort of Tycoon game is also good for playing for a long time without too much energy being needed.

Also, see if there are any podcasts you might like, and get a bunch of episodes for you to listen to.  I plan on listening to a lot of Keith and The Girl when I get eye surgery because it's something I can do while laying around and doesn't even require VISION.  Just make sure it's something you like ahead of time.

edit: Also audiobooks are a good option for when you feel like laying back a bit to rest.

Most libraries offer downloads of these via an online checkout system so you don't even have to go to there.

Also, moving this to General.

So I haven't read every page of the topic.  Have you found out whether or not the growth on your lung is a tumor?

I was watching the National Geographic channel today, and there was this show called Beyond Tomorrow that did a segment on new cancer treatments being developed in China.  It was specifically developed to battle liver cancer, but if I remember correctly then it could be used for other types of cancer as a safe alternative to chemo without the nasty side effects.  They already have used it on humans and have prolonged the lifespan of terminal patients by double their original expectancy.

I went to the website and couldn't find any info about the show I saw today.  Here are some other links that might prove useful, though.

STARVE YOUR TUMOR TODAY!

Cancer Therapy W/O Side Effects

I guess you'll just have to ask your doctor about it and see if its an option, man. 

more details on page 7!

our library dont got no fancy e-books!!! CITY SLICKER.

also yeah this topic could stand to be moved although how absolutely tragic it would be if after the summer COUGH COUGH DIDN'T WORK ON MORE AGGRESSIVE CHEMO PROBABLY GONNA DIE and jeff...

can you move it back then...

can you move it back then...

I will have you know that if I have to do that I will do it...but I will cry while doing it. You better pull through.

aaaand fuck. if I do go in for chemo tomorrow (probably will) I'm five days in the hospital, meaning till Saturday some point.

hopefully they'll have a wireless connection just for business men like myself heheh but seriously if any of you have anything I can get ASAP before I head off tomorrow that I could keep on my laptop for reading or doing, please post now! I'll have an hour or so before I head out tomorrow.

FUCK I didn't want to do this today and now that I am I have to do it at the hospital for five days. this is awful, I hate hospitals.

argh and I just got GTA IV which was helping keep my mind off shit.

this is awful.

Now might be a good time to really get into an addictive MMO.  Not sure if you did the WoW scene with anyone else, but it'd be a good way to grind.  Just think of it this way -- if people are starving themselves in China/Korea playing because they're so addicted, then they're missing out on like a HUGE instinct in themself to eat, etc, and therefore are TERRIBLY distracted.  And I'm pretty sure if you don't have it, that people wouldn't mind chipping in money to buy you a WoW/AoC/etc account/subscription.  Seriously, like $60 for 4 months -- that's more or less chump change, especially if you're going to be addicted to it.

Aside from that, there are also other free MMO's -- but it might be something.  Dead people in China/Korea can attest to it!

well part of the problem is I don't know if hospitals have internet connections, which is why I'm kind of asking for standalone stuff now.

there's no way hospitals are so invigorating I'll find enough shit to do for five days!
