another big "is the chemo working" test tomorrow. Chemo on Monday. Between those days there shall be fun! Riding tomorrow, tubing/mexican food eating/tequila drinking on Sat./riding on Sunday/movie on Sunday night. Oh and doggie playdate which is always a riot to watch.
hopefully by the end of this week I will have put at least 120 miles on the bike. I'm up to 70 so... Read More
in two days I rode 50+ miles. Chemo is kicking my ass and riding is harder than ever but the days I ride are by far my best days in every possible way. I am thankful that I can get on my bike as I know many people in chemo are not that lucky.
Lance Armstrong was always a big hero of mine and of... Read More
I was just thinking of you this morning...
I'm glad I could help, and that it worked out. So you're an official "harlot" now?
Keep going, you can do this.
I took a week off from riding..it thought is was too hot and was killer tired (see previous rant). I went out today did some hills and its hot as fuck! the hills felt so brutal and I can't believe how weak I am getting. It pissed me off! honestly...fuck I can't ride my bike up a hill and I have 10-20 to overcome on... Read More
7+ months of chemotherapy has taken it's toll on me. I feel like I hit a walll and instead of taking things one day at a time, it's more like one 1/2 hour at a time. It's all about survival now, I don't have much energy for anything else. I think I have about 2.5 months left of chemo then surgery.... Read More
Vent away, yo. And, as I'm sure the rational side of you knows, you're NOT supposed to know who the fuck you are when this much trauma is going on. Just take solace that you were never married to Newt Gingrich... oh, wait, too soon? HE is a bstrd of the first order.
treatment extended and it sort of irritates me but I'll do what is best.
Last Sunday I went to the beach. By tuesday morning, my face had exploded and lit looked like received a serious beating. Doc wasn't sure but gave me more fat making sterioids. It finally went down by Friday. I only did on 20 mile ride and one 30 mile ride. I... Read More
it's strange when I was faced with cancer I felt like I had to come to terms with dying. then again I was afraid to come to terms with it too much and have it lead to a self fullfilling prophecy. Don't get me wrong, I want to live but there isn't a guarentee. I'm the sort of woman that wants to... Read More
When I was in the hospital, blind after having a brain hemorrhage, I thought a lot about the possibility of never seeing anything again. It was a difficult thing to consider for anyone, but especially for someone who tends to be very independent.
Ultimately, you live for yourself and for those you care for. To see and do and love and roll with it, no matter what setbacks may befall you. The cancer can only fuel your indecision if you let it.
life is confusing... no doubt about that. i don't even know what i would do... i have kids, so i guess it might have an effect on it, but if i didn't i have a feeling i would just get wasted and avoid thinking about it. not that i suggest that approach.
however, i am a companionship kind of guy, so i would continue to look for someone to share my life with, however long or short it may be.
I caught the girl with the dragon tattoo last night. She is HOT! omg omg omg!
I have to tell you though for an ex-smoker god damn it was hard to watch her smoke soooo much. It's such brainwashing because cigarettes really aren't as good as she makes them look.
