Quarantined for radiation therapy? Prowl, you doing okay, buddy?

In all seriousness, get better for whatever it is you're sick for.

EDIT: Also, Target was selling LeaderScreams for $27 clearanced. Could not pass up. Got one.

Okay, convention this past weekend

-various comics and compilations (all very cheap).

-2 "Sky Pirates of Valendor" bandanas.

-Frank Quitely's autograph.


Dom
-radiation therapy?

Heh, I already explained it to Dom, but you guys all need not worry. I'm just undergoing radio-iodine therapy as a way to nix my Hyperthyroid (condition I've had for quite a while) and leave me with Hypothyroid (apparently much less hazardous condition to have and easier to treat). Anyway, all my blood and sweat and ten-foot-radius is going to be cloaked in thyroid-eating radiation for a one-week period, meaning I have to stay in my house with no human contact for the entire time. Wheeee.

Thanks for all the concern though! I'll be fine.

Wow, that sounds like some intense-ass therapy. Still, glad to hear it's not something more serious. Where my head's been at lately, I hear "radiation therapy" and think "Oh, that's bad shit."

Eh, I'd buy a couple of each and get to repaintin', honestly. Windcharger and Rumble are the worst-screwed out of these last couple of lines, with the last PCC dudes and Warpath pulling up a close second. Up until now I was a pretty hardcore brick-and-mortar store toy hunter, but I think this last debacle's got me sold on the buying shit online. Of course, now that I learn that, there won't be anything I really want out for at least another year or so. Sigh.

This whole thing leaves a sour enough taste in my mouth going into the movie, (which I plan to mostly skip), that I am kind of happy to take a break for a while.

Late post for an April haul...

3x Generations Scourge

I finally see them on the retail shelves here, and I finally have the Sweeps on my (updated) 1989 movie cast shelf.


PS, Prowl:
Sorry to hear you have the same condition I do. I went through radio-iodine therapy twice, in 2001 and 2003 and have been on daily doses of Thyroxin pills ever since. Just think of it as daily vitamins, and you'll get used to it soon enough.
Just don't procrastinate on refilling the prescription when you run out.
