getting treatment

Sabrina Willow

I took the new bike out for a ride today. I rigged it with a computer so I know how fast and how far. I'm a wanderer so it's more fun for me to just ride rather than follow a route. I rode from my house to Kelly drive then down East River (they close it to traffic on Sundays), I doubled back on East River, back down Kelly and back home. 26 miles in all. It was great! I love my new bike. I still have love for my fixie and my cruiser though.

I know my big ride isn't until October but I'm really excited. It's the one thing that I know for sure is really going to happen. I'm starting training now because its recommended just for getting use to longer rides and also because its fun. At some point this summer I will be getting surgery and will be out of commission for 5 weeks I think? So it's better I start now.

My brain has taken a major hit with all the chemo. Medically speaking, chemo can and often does cause cognitive dysfunction. I feel like my IQ has significantly depreciated. Forget spelling, vocabulary, multi-tasking, or remember anything. The ohter night I tried to set my house alarm 5 times before I finally just said fuck it, I can't remember. I could have already writtten this post for all I know.

Of course if it's just me being dumb, I'm blaming chemo anyway...because I can. lol

I'm going camping in a few weeks (trying to get one trip in before surgery). There is room for ONE more if I know you and are interested, let me know. I do mean if I actually met you in person too!
