The Most Recent News

The doctor called this morning (rather early might I add) and said that I am an interesting case, I DO NOT want to be an interesting case (it means they don't know what's going on). I have been diagnosed with MALT or Mucosa-Associated Lmphoid Tissue which is often found in the stomach as MALT Lymphoma, a very mild treatable lymphoma that can actually be treated with antibiotics (to kill H-pylori bacteria which cause ulcers) however I don't have MALT in my stomach (haha that's unfortunate cuz a malt sounds really good right noww too bad I'm allergic to gluten, anyway) I have it in my ileum and colon which is perplexing to the doctors as they've never seen it before.

Our current plan of action includes me being a human pincussion and having blood tests for multiple different viruses (including epstein bar or mono which I've already had) and most likely lymphoma as well. My doctors will also consult with doctors (mainly pathologists) at the University and possibly at Mayo. At least they found something.

My Rather Comlicated Health Issues

So basically if I don't write all this out somewhere I might go crazy.
It all began 3 or 4 weeks ago (I can't quite remember) when I stayed home from school with flu-like symptoms thinking that a day of rest would cure me little did I know 3 or 4 weeks later I would be in miserable pain with no answers....

More to Come

LAX Parts 1 and 2

Well that was thoroughly confusing, so I'm gonna ramble for a while and try to figure it out for myself, perhaps my ramblings will help other confused Lost fans as well:

2004 (alternate reality/timeline created by the detonation of the nuclear core):

In Flight:

So basically the plane (Flight 815) hit similar turbulence over the Island but didn't crash since the nuclear explosion (from 1977) apparently sunk the Island and destroyed the pocket of electromagnetic energy that would have crashed the plane. (We know this is a completely alternate timeline/reality because Desmond is on the plane and Hurley is the luckiest guy in the world.) While on the flight Jack meets Bernard, Rose, Cindy, and (sort of) Kate. He saves Charlie's life (with Sayid's help) when Charlie panics and attempts to swallow his stash to hide it, obviously his plan fails when Jack opens his airway by removing the stash from Charlie's throat. Also on the plane Arzt meets Hurley, Boone and Locke have a conversation where Locke says he went on the walk-about in Australia (I think he was lying as he is still a paraplegic), and Sawyer briefly meets Kate, Marshall Edward Mars, and Hurley (he advises Hurley to not tell people he won the lottery b/c other people may try to take advantage of him).

After landing in LA:

• Charlie gets arrested off the plane for the illegal substances he was carrying.
• Jin gets taken into custody for not declaring his enormous wad of cash (more than $10,000) and Sun lies to the airport security about not being able to speak English.
• Jack finds out that the airline lost his father's body somehow and meets Locke whose case of knives has also been lost. Locke comforts Jack in a way over the loss of his father and Jack gives Locke his card and offers him a free consult for Locke's paraplegia saying that nothing is irreperable.
• Kate escapes from the Marshall while still in handcuffs stealing his coat to hide her wrists. She gets on an elevator with Sawyer who assists her in getting off the elevator after two airport security guards get on. Kate eventually escapes to the car loading area and hijacks a cab in which CLAIRE is the passenger after being spotted by the Marshall.

So that, I think, is all of the 2004 plot, I may have forgotten something, but if I forgot something it must not have been that important. More to come later about 2007 on the Island, but now lunch is over and I must go to class.

2007 on the Island:

• Kate wakes up in a tree and proceeds to almost fall out of said tree she can't hear anything for a while (most likely due to the noise of the explosion/white flash thing) and she eventually stumbles upon Miles who also cannot hear.
• Kate discovers that they are back in 2007 when she finds that they are at the hatch that Desmond imploded.
• Jack is laying unconsciously by the hatch and Kate wakes him up and fills him in on everything she knows which isn't much.
• I don't remember where Sawyer was but eventually he appears/wakes up and is enraged that 'it didn't work' and that Juliet is dead, he blames Jack for her death.
• All of a sudden Kate hears muffled noises coming from the hatch and it slowly dawns on the survivors that even though she fell for about 100 feet and was buried in shrapnel Julite is still magically alive.
• Meanwhile Hurley wakes up at the hippie van with Sayid (who is dying from his gunshot wound) and Jin. Jin runs to get Jack b/c Sayid is dying of a gunshot wound.
• Hurley sees Jacob stumble out of the jungle.
• Jacob informs Hurley that in order to save Sayid he will have to have Jin take him (Sayid) to the hole in the wall where he was with the French team. He then tells Hurley to remember the guitar case that he gave him and that he (Jacob) is dead.
• Back at the hatch Jack, Sawyer, Kate, and Miles are frantically digging through imploded metal in attempt to reach Juliet who has ceased yelling for help. One of the metal pieces covering the entrance to the hatch is too heavy for the people to use so they decided to use the bus.
• Jin and Jack go back to the van (or at least Jin does, I can't remember if Jakc went with him) to help Sayid and get the van to move the metal to rescue Juliet.
• While the others are gone Sawyer informs Kate that he plans to kill Jack if Juliet dies.
• When at least Jin (and possibly Jack) arrive at the van Hurley asks Jin about the place that Jacob mentioned and Jin says that he knows what Hurley is talking about. They load Sayid into the van and drive the van to the hatch where they use the van to haul the piece of heavy metal off of the entrance to the hatch.
• Sawyer jumps in and finds Juliet who is indeed dying.
• The two share a touching moment in which Juliet tells Sawyer that she is sad her plan (exploding the bomb) didn't work because she wanted him to have never had to come to the Island.
• They kiss, she says "I'm................(I think he was going to say pregnant)" and then Juliet dies.

It's Back!

In approximately 8 and a half hours Lost will return with the premiere of its final season, now I may keep this blog up to date at all, but perhaps with the return of Lost I will have something to write about (however Lost returning will not provide me with the time I need to write).

I'm so excited!
