hornets and o

things are calming down since it's the weekend. i'm still here trying to get better. But today is the first time i've really been able to get up and my oxygen seems fine. breathing better. I was really tired last night.

Well., I didn't make it through the hornets game last night. They did not do well. I almost think they play better without david west. does anyone else think that's possible? Kind of like how the giants won the super bowl without tiki barber? this is also originally called the Ewing theory because of the knicks playing better without him then with him. I just think If they let Chris Paul take over the game we don't need david west as much. He's a very good player but might not be the right fit for us.

well i got to go. don't want to get tired

12:25 pm- i thought i'd add some more. I know the quality of my writing hasn't been as good lately. It's just from not feeling to good you don't have enough energy. So I just try my best. I haven't really planned much to write about recently or wrote about anyone. It's been a lot about myself. I guess when your here, a lot is going on to you, and you don't see the world as much around you so it's hard to write on other stuff.

I WANT to get around to making a few coffee mugs for friends when i get out of the hospital. I'm going to look on the internet for ones to make. Basically I just find a picture of someone I really like with me in it and I put it on there. Nothing special but Marissa texts me all the time that she is drinking out of it which really makes me feel good.

i feel fine really how things are about being sick in the hospital. there's still many things i CAN DO then things I CANNOT do. This morning I watched the OFFICE with my dad, played a game of NHL 2009 (it's come a long way from the old days), and am going for a walk in a minute.

and I think the infection in my lungs will be controlled, It will be hard to maintain but, I take a such good care of my health doing as much treatments as I can. thats what the doctors said to me.

bye michael b

life at the o

i go to tired to write a blog yesterday. today my batteries are charged and i'm good to go.

I was exhausted yesterday. Getting up for 20 minutes is not good for me. The mucus is out for the moment. it will of course never be gone but i woke up breathing nicely this morning.
I got some good sleep that's important when your here in the hospital. you donvt want to get as tired as i was yesterday.
The other day, hallie and Marissa brought an old friend of mine Caroline over to visit. we had such a good time i think she may come back if she has time. i hadn't seen her much since 8th grade at st g so I WAS SHOCKED at how beautiful she was. I mean when your young like 13, you don't really think of the girls looks back then since your to busy making penis and fart jokes. and quoting lines from comedies and laughing thinking it's the funniest thing in the world.

SPORTS- I'm not positive that the yankees aren't going to sign manny until manny signs with someone else. Is there a chance there trying to lower his market value by saying they won't sign him so in a few weeks they can get him for less years. like only only 2 years. you don't want to give a 20 million dollar player more then 3 years. I know i sound like like tim mccarver here so i'll stop.

I watched tropic thunder from marissa and hallie and it was great. I saw it in theater but didn't really understand the movie because that is a movie where you have to have close caption if you have trouble hearing. I missed out on all the jokes last time and didn't get it really. there was one character who i thought was gay in theaters but it turns out he was just on heroin and that's why he was in his underwear. I guess that is kind of funny that you can get mixed up on things like that when you can't hear.

tomorrow- i'm going to write of course about the super bowl. it will have been a whole year nearly since my cochlear implant

cough medicine

THE Coughing is dying down. it's still there but it's harder to get up then how before i was coughing up every 5 minutes. better though. i'm more sick then other stays though

you can call me "blood test" boh because they keep wanting more blood

these nfl players are so stupid about money. I mean the ravens have 3 LB's, ray lewis and 2 other guys and free agents and one of them spoke for ray lewis and the other guy (NOT FOR THEM, OF THEM) that they should take a pay cut together to help the ravens have more cap room. that just seems like such the wrong thing to do when the sports average career for the NFL is less then 4 years.

i've got a long way to go. i'm just not at the level i was when i came in. I still get more tired then most hospital stays and being on oxygen has made it harder. i am comfortable though.

I'm always, and I wouldn't do them outside of a dr giving it to me at the o but i've always like the cough medicine they give you at night to go to sleep. I call it "the lethal injection" since it makes you sleepy.

status

Hey, i'm still in the hospital. I've coughed up so much mucus. The cough med was supposed to make you not cough anything for a few hours but I had that much in me. I would wake up about 5 or 6 times and just shoot a glob into the bin. The medicine does some weird stuff to you like I woke up and I started talking out loud about "john mccain and san francisco" I have no clue why or how those go togethere

I like that the yankees went and got Andy pettettite to come back. He's a good number 5 pitcher at this point in his career and he throws a lot of innings with out much worry about being hurt.
WANG
JOBA
PETTITTE

is a good 3-5 in the starting rotation when you have to face CC Sabathia TWICE in one series. They did over pay for AJ Burnett though but if and when his arm breaks down they won't be screwed because they are deeper now.

I don't know how many readers really follow baseball, i just felt it would be a nice change from me. Though i love talking about me and letting you know, whats it likes, in the life of boh, you know?

"HEAR IT FROM BOH"
"THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW"

Maybe i'm feeling a little better today. So I don't want to use all my strength, The doctor says i'm much more sick then any of my other hospital stays

back at the o

hey i'm back at the hospital, it's going to take longer then other visits from what i've told. I went to the emergency room last night They found out i was really really sick. and that coming in was good compared to waiting for todays appointment. i was really running a high fever, 101.9.

well i'm to tired to really keep writing. maybe later

travel

i took a day off, i just never got around to it. well, my nose was blocked up when i got up, don't you hate how that is? so gross.

i had no real lung pain yesterdat and my dad is already talking about going back to work, we've just got to make sure he doesn't push to hard. We're going to have to call his gym and have them be on the loook out for him jump roping.


I guess I allowed myself to get a little down. I got the feeling yesterday, and remember all is fine at home, but my feeling was i need a change of scene. to be able to go on a trip. it would just be to a resort where i wouldn't be doing to much except read, relax, and rack watch by a pool with unlimited cokes and food. life is great. I just am not sure i'll be able to travel as of now. we will have to see.


I just think not be able to travel is one of my biggest regret. Going across town with my mom gets me exausted.

michael- i might add to this laterh

acl surgeryb

this is the 300th blog here on michaelrboh.com

i never knew i'd have so many up here when i started

well my dad is in bed sleeping. He had his acl surgery yesterday. It was a complete tear across the back of the knee. he's on crutches and he's had to keep his leg straight. one of the things they had him do was lift his knee up and down quickly while keeping it straight. me and my mom are taking care of him though. we've been watching the office together.

CP3 is so good, He won it for us again last night. simply amazon.

I was hurting in my lungs last night. It was quiet painfufl. Luckily I woke up and feel better, but I was making a different sound when I was coughing last night.. and I had that awful thing where I'll cough unexpectedly in the middle of a sentence, well, i've learned to just hang in there.*

*- not trying to complain, just want to update everyone what i think.

I was reading on a hockey blog, the pittsburgh penguins (NHL) doing something for CF(i really thank them for that) they gave a kid who was 10, to a "$1 dollar contract" and let him practice with them. you don't hear enough about that kind of stuff very often. it's great to read positive things like that.

i'm reading rude behaivor it's the sequel to semi-tough. It's not as well known as semi- tough but it has the same kind of humor where it's totally politically incorrect.

THE SAINTS biggest need during the next few months is to get some defensive backss. Look at how much ed reed and troy polalamu help there teams. they seem to make the big play whenevever the team needs it.

reader

hey i've learned how to follow other blogs and headlines on google reader. you make a google account and go to reader and add things you want to follow. if you wanted to follow "life of boh" which is this blog you would type that in and subscribe. I have my reader set up to get the usa today sports section, news about the yankees from the local papers in new york, and other blogs. reading some of the stuff on other sports blogs can be hilairious, the ones that are clever and make subtle references where you have to think, not the ones that are mean spirited.

I want to apologize to my sister tricia for not wishing her a happy birthday yesterday. Well I did text her, and we talked but I like saying it on here. She's come a long way. 18 MONTHS from now, that little girl will be going off to college, the one who would wear a pink power ranger costume to school (the fad for 3 year olds girls in 1994-95)

as for my health. The mucus is thicker, much thicker then it used to be. I really need to be doing 2 vest a day, for those of you who don't remember what that is, it's where i put on a mechanical vest and shake for 30 months with pressure to try to get the green junk to loosen up. In CF the body produces more, thicker and bigger (that a movie title) of it. So you constantly have to do breathting treatments. I'm at the point though where I have no 2nd thought about not wanting to do it. I KNOW I NEED TO DO IT. for my own good. I've always done it though, It's just something that i've never felt like I can skip. But what i've done a better job at lately is finding things to do to keep me occupied while doing treatments. I don't feel the strain of it. Sorry if thats to many words. But I'm always looking for stuff to do for when i'm doing CF treatments,

*I apologize if I ever come off as arrogant in that. I don't mean to, if i was talking to you it wouldn't sound that way.

I got my picture professionally taken yesterday. We went to the guys house and he took pictures of us. The pictures came out really well and I felt they were some of the best I've taken in years. I was dressed up in coat and tie. Looked real good if I said so myself. I WILL POST IT ON MICHAELRBOH.COM as soon as I have it. I'm not sure why it's not in my hands or my monitor right now but things still don't work like that here.

hornets pacers

hey, i've gotten bad about updating. i promise not to do that again if possible. I was really not doing so well sunday night and got a little emotional. It wasn't having cystic fibrosis, you ever just get a certaiin way and keep feeling emotionally wiped out after an eventful day. it was like that for me on sunday.

yesterday was the hornets game on matin luther king day. they played the pacers. of course mike dunleavy jr is on the pacers and i lov seeing him play here. It's funny how me and my mom along with his aunt and uncle where the only people to get up and cheer. You can tell he's really hurting. athletes don't get enough credit for playing through pain, think of what you typical person misses in sick days at work, they've got to worry about losing there starting job if they miss to many games. The only guys who don't have to worry about it are guys like brady.


the hornets have really just need to let chris paul be allowed to take more shots, if he could take 20 shots a game and get some assist and steals he could make up for what we lack.

more basketball talk later. i'm maybe going to up this blog later in the day.


6:22 am


9-10 AM BACK. So I was at the hornets game. The 2:30 start time me and my mom agreed is so easy. you get your morning work done and you get back and have an hour before dinner. So we had a great time. My mom doesn't follow hornets games when she's not there but she just couldn't say enough about "what a show chris paul puts on" and i was telling my mom and dad "we are just lucky to be living in a time he plays in. we're not worthy"

9:13 am- I just have had some sharp upper right lung pain at night. it's pretty worriesome i have to admit. Because I never used to have that in the past. I am trying my best to enjoy what I have, it's not hard to still look forward to getting up because of doing stuff like watching the office with my dad, or "training to play tiger woods golf" for nintendo wii. I've found some people to play with now i got to get my game on.

saturday update

Hi, everyone! It's saturday, and I've been feeling like I'm really getting a lot of stuff done. I've gotten my 7 inch tv hooked up to the right watching the duke game and our bigger tv watching the golf in hd. Life is good.

I was a little concerned earlier about lung pain. It might or may not have been that. What I know is it went away after eating from Mccalister's, i love the french dip. the medicine i'm on for my treatment is supposed to make you really hungry where you feel like you can't stop eating. I usually have trouble eating non junk food other then fruit and pickles but I've had my apatite improve since being on it. But it is a scary feeling to be that hungry because of not knowing what's with me. I wasn't scared though by any means. I'm really enjoying my life right now because it seems so calm and simple. you know, the only good thing about having the oxygen all the time is people get you things and you don't have to pay them a tip. Just have to be nice and friendly. I do feel bad though for sending my dad up and down the stairs when he's listed as "questionable" with his knee

this 7 inch tv gets the michaelrboh.com seal of approval. now lets just hope we can take it on the road to game on.

i'm watching golf and I'm just going to make a random prediction- KJ Choi will win one of the major's or a wannabe major (the players, tour championship) no more golf commentary i promise.

I've got a question- If you could live in a different city IN AMERICA for one year where you've never lived, money is no object where would it be?
ROBERT s says- Jacksonhole, Wyoming (near yellow stone national park)
Michael says- well, this is saying I wasn't on oxygen, I'd pick san diego. i'd go outside every day. BUT, i really like new orleans so this would be strictly one year.

i got to go now cya

mini update

quick update-

my moms friend Mary, came over to visit today. it was great seeing her because we share the same type of humor.


I Felt really good in the morning but i got kind of tired. This happens when I'm having a great day health wise, I'll get up, and just not realize how i am right now. the thing today was I went up the stairs to many times and my old habit used to be to run up them so I found myself doing that today. At first it didn't tire me out, I've still got energy now but I can tell it's not good for my lung to be doing that. I'm going to try to be more careful.

Look for some minor changes to come soon to michaelrboh.com I've been reading more about blogs to see different kinds. i think i'm doing mine the right way. I'm not trying to attract to many people to the blog outside of friends and family. and people intrested in Cystic fibrosis. but i'll stick to the same 1 post per day rule so it's easy to read if you go like a week without reading. Also I'm going to keep from having long posts. I think short stuff does better. The occasional longer piece is better on a serious topic, but I've found the writing just isn't the same when you try to do a longer piece every day. this isn't a news as it happens blog so i don't need multiple updates per day. Ideally i'd like it to be up at a certain time in the morning though. I'm going to post a video update sometime soon. I'm not saying when so it will be a surprise.

playoff predictions

HELLO, back again today at the life of boh where once you go boh you don't say no.

Some ideas I'm playing around with in my head- I'm not really currently able to play golf right now, and i don't know if i'll be able to again any time soon. But I had the idea that it would be really fun, it would be to make a video game golf tour consisting of the different Golf Games I own. I could try to get some people involved. It would be fun.

I think It would be a lot of fun to do it for nintendo wii, since it has the motion sensitive control, you feel like your more in the game. Plus nintendo wii has about 5 golf games which is strange because that's about as many as it has every sport combind.



*= i'm miffed how nintendo always seems to short me on sports games with there systems. I should know by now.

Well, I had to leave yesterday at halftime during the tulane game. I got too tired. This is really to bad. I like seeing basketball in person no matter what. I just felt so exausted. I SLEPT really hard when I got home for sure. I like to be able to make it through all of these games but I value my health first. I think thats what you need to do here. This is why right now, I couldn't go to a Saints game. that would take to much effort to go to. I Think I'm up for the Hornets because it's easier. We sit in Aisle seats, we can go in the club area if things get to tiring.

The hot dogs at fogelman (home of tulane basketball) are also dog food. man, are my taste buds different all the sudden? (me and chris call that stuff dog food)

My thoughts on the NFL PLAYOFFS- I am pulling for the Cards and steelers. My dads favorite team before the saints came here was the cards so He's liking seeing them win. I'M like that in the NBA with the rockets.

Larry Fitzgerald is the best WR in football. If they had a 100 percent healthy boldquin, there would be no doubt in my mind they would win this game. I'm hearing westbrook isn't healthy either but he's always hurt for his whole career. The ravens won't be able to put up enough points and I see them losing by at least 9 points. i'm going to say 17-6,

TO CARTER- I PROMISE THIS IS A BETTER PICTURE, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT?


SORRY I didn't update michaelrboh.com -

I found out that someone close to me has an illness that they're going to need to" be strong and brave to get through." that's all you can honestly promise to them. Anything else can come off as a bit insincere. Just let a person know in a situation like that how brave they are. that's more real to me, DAMNIT*

This time a year brings a few things in mind,



The NFL PLAYOFFS > The Super Bowl



Daytona 500> the one NASCAR RACE of the year I really pay attention to



THE START OF TULANE BASEBALL- We canceled our season tickets for Tulane baseball. Hey we had our reasons. They were $750 total. That's a big extra when your not going to every game. We like to go to the games early in the year.

So What I was saying, this time of year is about getting a grilled smoke sausage from turchin, this time of year is drinking 3 cokes at the game and leaving by the 5th inning with tulane pounding a team from up north by about 10 runs or more. This is the only sport we're you can honestly cheer for the team in your own backyard. It's a great way to get a tan, it's great to not have to stand up much. It's a great ball game. it's just about a month away, but me and chris were talking about the hornets food aka dog food and there plastic looking pizza and I, came to the conclusion that the dog food at turchin is what the celebs in hollywood feed their pet dogs. I'd be happy to eat the same thing, just give me some onions mustard and a large sprite.

I'm really liking french dip sandwhiches from (Deuce) Mccalister's. It's shredded roast beef and cheese with gravy dip i think. It's so good I just want everyone to know.

My health is about the same. I've been able to get around better without oxygen for the short times when i'm without it. I think if you stay very calm when it's off it doesn't really hurt your breathing but it seems to be when you get really nervous and you use up to much energy
example; I ran up the stairs yesterday when i was coming up while I didn't have it on thinking I would get up there quicker but It got me more tired then if I had gone up slow but taken longer.

hornets and worst buy

back again to michaelrboh.com everybody

once you go boh you don't say NO

to carter- please please get well soon!! your are one of the main reasons i write this every day and i think of you all the time.

I had my port taken out, as I don't need it anymore for right now. I'm on a different medicine so It's good to be able to take showers. I feel so much better without it because you can sleep easier.

Sadly, someone commented about me being on oxygen today for the first time in a clearly stepping over the boundrys way. I was at a store shopping for something. This is made difficult because they only have one person in line checking out people. You know how you don't really talk to strangers in situations like this? well she started to go on a rant about how I shouldn't be buying candy being on oxygen and having it go in my nose. I'm trying to block out the rest but made us so mad that my mom just turned around around and grabbed my arm tight and held on to me as the women kept going on. The kind of person I'm talking about here is your really really stupid person who thinks they know everything and they see how people talk on tv like on shows like the view or dr phil so they feel the need to throw out what they think and tell you what your doing wrong.

Makes no sense.

In the car, we both came to the conclusion that she might had something wrong with her, since it wasn't normal but it's just hurtful to have someone point out the oxygen stuff and tell my mom that we're not doing the right thing.

We're just at a point that, we don't need that in the lives Is the best way to put it.. (i wrote that later on. the red part

I'm sorry if those two paragraphs didn't make a whole lot of sense. It was a really unpleasent expierence since it was wrong in so many ways you just wish they would "do shut up"

Let's finish on a positive note- I'm going to see the Salary cap clearing New York Knicks tonight. There future is not now. Nor is it next year. Without the team saying it, They are waiting for the 2010 free agency with such players as Yao Ming, Lebron, wade, chris bosh, michaael redd. So they are going to be dumping a lot of salary of the next 2 years because they are still recovering from the Isiah Thomas regime. A time that effected many New Yorkers lives.

NBA MACHINE BLOG (HORNETS)

NEW ORLEANS HORNETS

*this is a basketball blog. last night was a special night for me so i'd like to talk hoops.*

I had a lot of fun going to the hornets game last night. I made it through the end and lived to tell about it. It wasn't that hard except when I would have to stand. That took a lot of energy, but I was able to make it. That meant A lot to me because it really raised my spirits. I had thought at a time that I would never be able to go to sporting events again and that was a really depressing thought for me. Sports are really important to me. I live them and i love em. Going last night was one of the most meaningful sporting events to me. It was not the sport, which I love. Not the event, Your average friday night blowout against a clipper team who's star player quit on them 15 seconds after he was signed, It just showed to me that I can get out and not be trapped inside the rest of my life. I must admit I had that thought when I first got on Oxygen. so it just made me feel good.

I was trying to figure out a trade for the hornets on nba trade machine

. go to espn.com to make "mock" trades AKA when your bored. the goal is to see if you can make an NBA trade work under the salary cap. I'm trying to put an arguement here for all 3 teams. Now in clearly favors the hornets. at least in the short run, but it helps the bucks clear some cap room since they are stuck in no mans land, the out of the playoffs in the east to in it but not going to win it. That's a reason to break up the team because you look ahead to later. The Wolves can get rid of bad contracts also and take on talent without giving much up. they get a bad contract in richard jefferson who makes too much (1 million per point=17 million) but if there serious about winning, it's not a bad idea.

Minnesota Timberwolves

incoming: Richard Jefferson
$13,200,000Years Remaining: 3PPG: 17 RPG: 4APG: 2 PER: 13.796
R. Jeffers on
Outgoing Players: Rashad McCants, Calvin Booth, Brian Cardinal, Sebastian Telfair

michael- Brian cardinal is your average 6 foot 10 center who puts up less then 3 points a game during his best season, which so happened to be his contract year (last year of), then gets a 6 year 31 million deal and is a bust right away.

See he was supposed to add rebounds and his only skill at the time was blocking shots, but it was not to be.

rashad mccants played at north carolina

Sebastian Telfair is perhaps the most over hyped player ever to go straight to the pros. He made the cover of SI while still playing high school ball. They much over looked his shooting ability in it.

The T-wolves would be closer to the playoffs and the hornets could be right up there with the spurs,lakers,cavs. They need a player who will get them in the playoffs because you don't want a guy to get used to losing in Al Jefferson who could really be good. He's already becoming one of the better players, averaging 22 ppg 10 rpg. Richard Jefferson is only 28 and he will still be putting up 17 ppg at least for the rest of his contract. he's not a bad #2 guy, if they got somone else also who could score or play D they'd make the playoffs.

New Orleans Hornets

incoming: Andrew Bogut
$6,294,195Years Remaining: 6PPG: 11 RPG: 10APG: 1 PER: 15.799
A. Bogut
C. Booth
C. Villanueva
L. Mbah a Moute
M. Redd
Outgoing Players: Tyson Chandler, Devin Brown, Peja Stojakovic, Morris Peterson
Michael's take- Tyson is good on defense but gets to many Fouls. I have to admit Nothing is more exciting then a Chris Paul Lob To Chandler who catches it one handed and slams it but he can't shoot from outside of 3 feet. in fact other then lay ups and dunks, he can't seem to shoot at all this year. The stats might not back that up but that's my observations. Peja is one of the new orleans favorites and That's why he won't be traded. I wouldn't want him to either. This is more like a video game trade where you can get it to work under the cap so the computer does it, but it's one sided even if you give a good player away.

Milwaukee Bucks
gets-
Rashad McCants
$2,620,126Years Remaining: 1PPG: 9 RPG: 1APG: 1 PER: 10.48
R. McCants (1 year 2.6 million salary, expiring contract
T. Chandler
B. Cardinal (Expiring contract in 2010, year of lebron free agency, makes 6.1 million)
S. Telfair(2 years remaining, free agent in 2010 makes 2.3 million
D. Brown (expiring contract at the end of the season)
P. Stojakovic (still a starter)
M. Peterson (a bad signing for the hornets. he makes 5,592 million the next 3 years and he already is terrible. not good.)
Outgoing Players: Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Richard Jefferson, Michael Redd

First I know a trade like that would never happen. I am going to play around with this thing. I just think it's a lot of fun. minnesota could have the two jefferson's and clear a bunch of bad contracts and make themselves better, the hornets could have redd shooting the 3's, a decent replacement in bogut, calvin booth who is an expiring contract meaning at the end of the year they won't resign him and it won't seem bad. Also they would get two backups. For the bucks they would be clearing cap room for 2010 when Lebron, Wade are free agents. Wade did go to Marquette which is in Wisconsin so who knows. Also, be honest- The Bucks aren't going anywhere with these group of guys. What they need is a star player and a serval good players around him, they lack the star player because michael redd is good enough to make it to the all star game, but be a reserve. kind of like Pau Gasol in LA. you don't want that in your best player. They need to shoot for a high lottery pick next year and get a good free agent in next years (2010 class)

The T-wolves would be closer to the playoffs and the hornets could be right up there with the spurs,lakers,cavs. They need a player who will get them in the playoffs because you don't want a guy to get used to losing in Al Jefferson who could really be good. He's already becoming one of the better players, averaging 22 ppg 10 rpg. Richard Jefferson is only 28 and he will still be putting up 17 ppg at least for the rest of his contract.

That was my Hornets trade that I would make if they want to win the championship. It would keep them the same in money, around 68 million. the thing is you would add another year or 2 to all those guys contracts which the owners and gm's hate because they don't want to risk paying the guy 5 years from now when he's either lost his talent, injury prone (see griffey for the reds) or lost his "Passion for the game" Marbury.

so this would be your new and improved hornets

CT Scan

Well guess what!!?!?! I'M GOING TO THE HORNETS GAME TONIGHT VS THE LA CLIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's right, senor boh and father boh are going to the arena tonight to see the hornets. The clippers will be with out Baron Davis who happens to be hurt right as he comes into town to play his old team. Anyone think he's afraid Chris Paul might make him look bad? I think for a guy like Baron he just has a hard time accepting that he's a level below paul.

I really wonder what it's like when you make a lot of money to coach in the NBA, know how to win and not get the results, and have the team give up on you. mike dunleavy sr seems to fall in that category. he's a good coach but the clippers are a dead end job. if he had complete control over them from day 1 it might be different but elgin baylor was the worst GM in NBA history, being a "veteran of the lottery process" as he was once described as at the draft lottery one year.

I went and got a CT scan today, they injected dye. It took 5 needles before they found a place to shoot the dye in. It truely was a lethal injection. As I told my dad later in the car because it was so random, so michael- "You know lethal injections are banned in every state except Oregon" and he said "Who told you that?" I swear I read that somewhere.

Anyway I'm glad to be getting out like this. My doctor said to do it. I'll carry around a full oxygen tank and walk to my seat and try not to get up to much. To bad the first half the people eat like hippos, hungry hungry ones. I don't know why honestly.... the Hornets have perhaps the WORST food in the league. They invented the bad stadium hot dog to me. I guess the baseball stadium ones are better because your outdoors like that somehow makes a difference.

I'll let you know later about the CT SCAN. about my health. about the Hornets.

doctors appointment

yesterday at the doctor

I'm going to be taking a medicine that makes me a little manic. it's to make the swelling go down in the lungs. so i hope i'm not all over the place in my blogs and that i'm easy to understand but it might be tough. that's what the doctor prescribed yesterday. I feel it's good because i've been having choking pain and inflamation in the lungs that makes me cough a lot.

i'm starting to feel a little bit better. i don't think it's the medicine yet but i think it's becaue i've been really pushing pushing myself harder on my cf treatments. it can eat up to 3 hours of your time but i've tried to make it where i have something to do instead of just stare at the screen of a college basketball game where I'm not even tuned in and i'm just waiting for the vest to be over. The vest is a machine that you put a black strap on vest and it shakes your chest for 30 minutes to loosen up the thick mucus you get in your chest having CF

The golf pool is underway. They are doing it by email this year which is really to bad. I loved going to the drafts where all the men would get off work around the holiday early and we would head out and gather around a table and they would drink beer and i would eat popcorn and drink a bunch of cokes and we'd make stupid jokes. Next year we'll pin it down. It's hard to get 12 people in the same room at once. to tell you the truth I don't think we ever had everyone. the draft is in progress. The season starts tomorrow. Not much time to think about how your team is.

If the Saints were to trade Reggie Bush, and I don't think they have the guts to because he still brings in money, they should get help on defense. Trying to get Shockey was the right idea because with the Saints, having Drew Brees, you need to try to win now. So I don't think losing a 4th round pick hurts. Shockey just wasn't the right guy. If we could just get a Safety. We need a guy who can fake the blitz and drop back into coverage. (i realize that was ramblin but it sounded good)

Call of Duty World At war is such a fun game. I would recommend it to anyone who's a gamer. it's more fun then halo to me.

late update

Hey guys, it's late for me, 10:40 so i want to keep this short.

We had lots of doctors appointments today. I'll get into them tommorrow. I seriously doubt anyone reads this before.

The Hornets don't look so good this year. I knew we weren't going to get another season out of Peja like last year. I'm not saying they should quit but they either need clear cap room to bring in a free agent or get some help for chris paul. he can't play 48 minutes every night. I don't think they will be able to take on 77 million in payroll next year. That's money that only the Lakers, Knicks,dallas or portland,boston want to spend, that's just the difference in Basketball compared to football for new orleans.

I'll be back tommorrrow

tuesday update

My phone broke today. richard is going to replace it before he leaves.

I guess today officially marks the end of the holidays since richard heads back today. It was a lot of fun. I managed to stay out of the hospital this time while everyone was here. had some close calls.

i feel really limited when my phone breaks. i have to find another phone to be able to text people then i have to get a number from a friend of a friend. today, i was trying to get a hold of marissa and i had to figure out how to get her number which was iming hallie through aol and then getting it and getting my moms phone when she came back. by this time marissa was worried about me she said cause she had tried to reach me a few times. i don't blame her since i always answer it within minutes. well i hate breaking it by accident. m

sorry to complain.

I'VE never been as tired and exausted as I was last night. i just got worn down by not having my oxygen on for 3 hours early yesterday. also i'm starting to feel a little pressure in the top of my lung. i get oxygen and it reads normal on the meter but i'll feel like i'm not getting enough somewhat and i keep coughing. i'm going to the doctor tomorrow so i'll have a better description

michael b

lifespan of cf

what was he thinking?

The CF MONSTER (see above, double click the picture) WAS LURKING TRYING TO CLAW HIM AWAY, To Choke Him worse Then many Saints teams in The Month Of January. This would be a shame, much like Notre Dame in the year two thousand eight. To Not get the proper air, to BE A FISH Above the surface, it would have felt. For on this winter night, his mind was not right, he wondered down into the cabana............

I went down this morning way to early thinking it was 5 when it was really 4:00 am. I got some yogurt and layed down on the sofa, I didn't have my oxygen on so I was down there until 7:00 am without oxygen. Luckily things are ok. That sentence makes it sound much worse then it was. My lungs were sore when my mom fianally woke me up when she got up with the oxygen. I was breathing ok for no oxygen at this time, about oh, maybe 93-94 percent.

The Normal would be 98-99 for most people. my brothers is around 96. moms is 98.

It took me about an Hour of wearing oxygen for the soreness to go away. I'm fine now.

I think what I'll try to do more in 2008 is not to hurry things along so much. Try to feel like I can wait for things to happen. I just never want to get the thought "I have CF so I'm short of time so I need to be doing this and this" That's A thought I would get privately in the past that I WOULDN'T share with people outside of perhaps my brother,sister,mom and dad. I didn't really know how to express this the right way in the past. I hope perhaps here is the right place? I'll just try to not worry about time so much in the future because you can't control what happens to you physically as long as you do your best to fight it back.

What this means in short for those of you who are trying to understand michaelese-

1. It's bad to get caught up in at least for me "I've got to get this done before this happens"
2. I didn't get into this, But I can't tell you how grateful (and not dead) that I am for having my brother richard, and my mom spending so much Time researching stuff about CF. Richard in particular has helped my evenings out so much by finding a thing to reduce times of treatments while being more effecient. Although CF doesn't get money put into it like we'd wish, they do come out with stuff that you've got to try out.

3. Another reason I put this is I'm just to week to go to any CF websites were they trade ideas of what works. We're able to get better INFO then most people so they need this stuff but we like to look at everything. Its just to depressing for me to read some stuff there. It's to hard to read something like RIP 1993-2007 and you realize they were younger then your sister, who you still consider as your little sister even though she's about to be 17.
11:31- I'm going to stop here. I'm not going to say I'm upset or anything. I've never really written what I think about CF, this or that. Let be sum it up that I've Accepted it since day 1 the physical aspects of it. The lifespan thing is something that can scare me on days I don't feel good.

I have got to be more careful. I used to go downstairs all the time in the morning. It was like my ritual to go down at about 5:00-5:30 and eat yogurt for breakfast then watch a minute or two of sportscenter before falling asleep but i've got to use oxygen for that now.

can my readers (if there are any) comment on edits. I need to back away from the keyboard and slowly walk out the door

TIME FOR THE NFL PLAYOFFS

I woke up today without my mask on, it fell on my covers so that wasn't a good start. I could feel some pressure in there as we woke up. I'm fine though

My mom got a Michael Jackson DVD/CD combo for Christmas to give to her and each of her friends, you know as kind of a thing for what was cool when they were there mid 20's. We watched the Michael Jackson DVD and wow it was a few things-
1.Unintentionally hilairious, how was this guy the coolest guy in the world at one point from what i've heard.
2. He could really move. Deion Sanders had about 1/10 of his talent in jukes,jives and jams
3. Even then he looked really strange and looked like he had a bunch of face work (before it became so obvious were it was a joke)
4. He really was talented, you just forget with all the stuff he did.'
5. Confession- his music is a lot better then most of the stuff now. I mean it's much better. I feel bad somehow for saying that.

It's a disgrace to the great game of Football that Arizona, a city about 3 to 4 times the size of New Orleans can't sell out a playoff game when they play in the best facility in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I mean, Before the Hurricane you would hear talk about the Saints moving every off season and it was mainly so Benson could get more green but we would sell out reguardless even during the mike ditka era, the aaron brooks era, the tiger stadium debacle. Well I'm not trying to get us into it. I just hate how a team like the cards due to having a "new" 500 million dollar publically funded stadium is a stone cold lead pipe desert lock who can't sell out games where as were a football crazy city who has to play tom benson's game every off season.

I am going out in a bit to get coffee at borders. will get gaming strategy guide.

UTAH BEAT ALABAMA, So we split national champs? what's the point otherwise of playing if your a UTE

Mucus Bowl

SUNDAY'S LIST-

Visit from stephen and david

wait it wasn't a sunday, it was new year's....i'm just used to them visiting on sunday.

Anyway, me and Richard hung out last night and we had like organic pizza from pizza hut. A huge upgrade in quality from there, we also had, and this was tony the tiger from the frosted flakes commercials, GREAT!!! I'm talking about pasta hut from pizza hut. He got macroni noodles and something else. the something else was one of the best kinds of pasta's I've ever had.

USC won there usual Rose Bowl, destroying another big 10 team like usual. I didn't bother to watch the BIG EAST-ACC WINNER aka the orange bowl. Not to important. The Mid Winter Classic was a great game. They've got to make an outdoor hockey rotation in sites of Chicago, New York, Boston and maybe Pittsburgh or Philly. I don't know if those two cities get cold enough. I would say Minnesota since it's the state of hockey but they don't have an outdoor baseball stadium. That works better then a football one.

The holidays are almost over and they've really been great. I'm starting to feel what I think is better. Now better for me is different then what you consider better. That's not saying that to make me look stronger or braver. I just might not realize how bad it is from feeling this way my whole life. It's like the football player who's in so much pain he never says anything because he thinks your supposed to go like that and one day he can't get up anymore and is forced to retired. Weird example I guess.

RICHARD did wii fit. EVERYONE LOVES IT. He hasn't played a video game since Clinton was in the begging of his first term, but He thought Wii Fit was so much fun he wants a Nintendo WII. I'll try my best to get him one. They sell pretty fast. His Wii fit age was 35. i believe (and if I wrote it differently on an old blog, correct me) that is slightly higher then Hallie and Marrisa but not by much. It's much younger then me (46) and Dad (63), with due respect he shouldn't have excercised on his hernia. my mom I believe was a 44.

In the 1st out of 365 editions of the Mucus bowl last night brought to you by Pulmozime, in a battle that was quick and decisive over the course of one hour, The Fighting Cornhuskers of New Orleans met there crosstown rivals The University of SooTeeMoan nus-Right Lung who was left high to dry by an agressive dose of treatments that poured it on repeatedly in determination unforseen coming into todays game and shook it up for 30 minutes to close out the game. At the end of the game, MVP OF the mucus BOWL Michael R. Boh Said........"another day another victory, one day at a time, this is how they should fight the war on terror"

happy news year

Man did that not turn out well. The chicken bowl was a huge disaster. They Lost 38-3 to LSU. I think the thing you can say is they have the youngest team in the ACC.

I got up early today. It is the 6 hour in the 1st day of the 2009 in the central time zone.

My health I believe is getting better. All these treatments I do, Social life I miss, maybe it's worth it. For social life, there was a party last night that I wanted to go but couldn't due to all the oxygen and stuff. I understand I just wish in a way it wasn't like that. I try not to think "I'm missing this or I'm missing that" because there plenty of things I get that a lot of others don't, like lots of attention from my brother sister and family.

We went to Best Buy yesterday and I used Christmas money and Gift Cards to buy a 2nd Playstation 2 and 7 inch TV and gave the first ones to my sister to take up to South (will Rise again) Reserve. I also got her the game Kingdom Hearts which features Disney Charecters. I just feel this special bond with her and want to do all these nice things for her since it brings me such joy to see her happy. So I don't mind using my Christmas money to basically pay for what my Present was.

I've been reading a lot of Dan Jenkins books lately. They are absolutely hilairious. Semi pro was so funny I would start crying from laughing so hard when "Big ed" would discuss how the "Oil Bidness" was, and how god created a few Earthquakes to remove stupid people from the world every "now and then to even it up" with the smart people like "bid ed" who was in the 'oil bidness (that's all from the book more or less. it's a fiction about the super bowl week in a diary format)

I also read Dead Solid Perfect. Funniest golf book by a mile. I can see where rick reilly got hi stuff from. He took the same inhale or exhale quote and put it into his book and either a dave lagarde thought or most likely a tribute

(dave lagarde used to be the golf writer for the times picyune about 10 years ago before they cut staff after katrina and as the internet became more advance. What he would do is he would subscribe to golf world, golf digest, and Copy the rumors out of there. You would read about rumors in the times that could be a month or two old and one time me and my dad caught him using the same article thus us coming up with the term "is he going dave lagarde on us?" meaning copying someone elses work and hoping no one had read the previous. sadly he stopped writing for the paper soon after and got a big promotion to PGATOUR.COM
