Starting to rough in number 9 post, I thought I skipped a day. Then I thought I got it right, then I had to check the official box score, then I remembered a snowman is an 8, no NINE snowman is nine.  What the hell.  EIGHT.  Snowman is 8.  Almost had to call McCready at dinner to tripple check.  Something I feel totally entitled to do now that we've talked 3 times in the last 10 years.  A testament to either my sense of entitlement or the depth of our brohood.  ALAS,  It is, as they say in rehab, DAY NINE.  Don't know how in Dilaudid I messed that up 4 times before accidentally getting it right or having it right all along.  Whatever, nevermind.

Did you find a Heme-Onc text book?  How are you going to understand what is going on?  We cant ALL be calling The RICK.  Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying substance on a red-blood cell, what makes it red.  It is measured in weight per volume.  What's your Hemoglobin?  You Healthy stooges have 13-18 grams of hemoglobin per decaliter of blood.  At the moment I got like 7.6

Hematocrit is percentage of  total volume.  It is a cruder measurement, easier to make and eyeballs close enough for government work.  People who find themselves in or around the mean have Hematocrits of 39-54, I.E.: 39-54% of the individual's total blood volume is hemoglobin.  When i entered the twilight zone i was 39.7.  Today, I was 23.  My Mendoza line is 24.  Ergo, I got a bag of RBC's.  Tomorrow I'll let you know what kind of bump I got and, if I feel like it, deliver the platelet lecture.  If if I don't, dialectical materialism.

Elvis and Dick Nixon have their picture made.  Note the man's suit  Enormous collar, thick contrasting stitching on same, flared tail AND sleeeves if memory serves?  Sylish and ugly, bold and enslaved.  THIS is the particular band of cheep suit I feel like today.  Turns out you need be neither cheep or a suit to be a cheap suit.
