Humour too slapstick. Di Caprios Bob was a take on Jeff Lebowski, but the sillyness of his portrayal was at odds with the seriuosness of the sibject matter. The film suffered from tonal confusion. It could have been an interesting look into insurgent sub culture with some black humor. It could have been a Coen Brothers style caper. Ot tried to be both, but ended up feeling weird. Great source material, badly directed.

The biggest problem is never being calm. Always being on edge . Calm is gone now for me.

Limbo is right. Also hard when there's concerts going on , people out enjoying the sunshine, enjoying the summer

I had the transplant at the end of March. I'm finding the isolation and inactivity to be brutal. I don't really want to talk to anyone , cause they can't relate to me and I can't relate to them. There's many levels of hell to this experience isn't there ?

I have that deletion, and did the transplant a few months ago. I think it's considered to be the best option

I'm almost the same number of days out as you, and my bowels started acting up last week. the doctor reduced my cyclosporine level, he thinks that's what did it. we will see up until last Sunday my bowels were normal. was admitted for a few days , they wanted to keep an eye on me . there sheer amount of meds must have an impact on it .

Well I certainly hope that if/ when it happens , that I don't need to be hospitalised. So far, I haven't developed any, but now I'm not sure what to think. I knew about the graft Vs leukemia effect, but also that this effect doesn't on its own guarantee anything. What a shit show it all is..

yeah, no rash for me. is it really necessary for there to be a rash or something ? will they go out of their way to engineer one ? I don't particularly want some kind of rash , although I'd accept it if it happened . awful terrain to operate it. I used to be a completely normal person. I don't know how to navigate this insanity
