The Roller Coaster
This morning is a post I have had in draft for a while, and it is for any and all of you cancer survivors, those living from transfusion to transfusion, or those who are newly diagnosed with a blood disorder.
The reason the roller coaster ride is such an apt metaphor for MDS and the other conditions is well illustrated in this picture. A winch tows the train of cars up to the apex of the acme, the highest point, and then gravity takes over. Wheeeee down you go, and back up - just not quite as high, then down again, and back up, moving more slowly as on each successive rise you don't go quite as high, and you loose inertia. Physics.
Entropy you can ride in.
So strap yourself in and enjoy the ride after the jump
