When suffering does not destroy you, even though you have been to the edge of the abyss, you know something that you cannot know in any other way. Someone else is sustaining you. You are indeed living by a life not your own. Or as I love to say, "Your life is not about you." It is henceforth, most truly, about God. And you are merely "free sample" of what God has always been doing. - Quote from Richard Rohr

Pictures


Here are pictures of me getting my Photopheresis. Aww the life of Riley

A large needle extracts my blood a pint at a time for a total of 6 cycles. It drops my white blood cells into one of those bags then it goes thru the the sun tanning process:

The tanning bed is the picture with door open. See the lights. Just like a tanning bed. The white blood cells run thru there and get sunburned from anywhere from 29 minutes to 96 minutes. My average time was about 39 minutes of tanning!
