Sympathy for for the Devil (If He / She were Diabetic)

Mike and Zacc, reporting again.  We headed back to Neffs with Mom from Philly on Friday.  Before leaving, we picked up our Neupogen.  What's Neupogen you ask?  It's a drug that increases the production of stem cells in our bone marrow.  Eventually, they will spill out of our bones and into our bloodstream.  And, it's a drug that had us carrying monetarily the equivalent of a very nice car in a canvas bag on our bus trip back to Neffs.

Saturday morning was when we started injecting ourselves.  Zacc's style is all GQ: unzip his stylish sweater and just go for it.  Mine is to get in the recliner, take off the shirt, pinch my skin way too hard, and then try and build up the nerve to stick myself.  It's really not too bad.  And, now that I've had some practice, I can say we both barely feel a thing.

The main side effect is aching bones but we've been taking our Claritin and Tylenol and so far feel just fine.  But, I'm wondering about some enhanced strength issues.  Zacc and I were throwing a frisbee Saturday night.  Yes, it had a split in its center but the edges were still intact.  I went for my patented behind the back throw and tore the frisbee in half as one piece hit the ground and seconds later the other fluttered back to earth.

Anyway, by the time we return to TJH on Tuesday morning, our bloodstreams should be swimming with stem cells, some of which have a bright future as Dad's new immune system.
