Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 117

I thought I'd start a new thread for updates on my cancer treatments and whatever else is going on, since the bad news thread title is misleading now.

My last treatment went better than the previous two and my chest wound is still closed up, which is a good thing. My arm is getting slightly stronger and I hope to resume lifting dumbbells next week. I need to build up my strength again, because I am going back to Denmark in May and I am extremely pumped about that! I'd like to be able to schlepp my own checked bag and not have someone else lifting it for me.

It's going to be a fabulous trip, 6 weeks and a couple of days for me. My brother is going along as well as my friends Chipp and Rod. Chipp is staying close to 3 weeks and has not gone with me over there since 2006 so he is also very pumped to be going. It will be Rod's first trip and he will be there for 2 weeks. I will get to be a tour guide. Also, I am throwing a party in my favorite pub of all, the wonderful, ever-magnificent Irish House in Aalborg on May 7th. The owner and I are friends and he will give me a little discount. We'll have Irish stew and brews in the cellar and I hope to have around 25 family and friends there. I might bill it as the "Fu** Cancer Party." A few months back, I was not sure I'd ever be able to go over to Denmark again or if I'd even be alive, but the cancer hasn't gotten me yet. I'm doing a number on it, instead.

Some other cool things I plan to do when I am back in my ancestral lands include a wine tasting in a castle, touring another castle and the northernmost manor home in the country, and visiting Skagen, the top of Denmark, where you can stand on a little patch of beach and have one foot in one sea and one in another. They also have a brewpub up there I am wanting to check out. I will start and end my trip in Aalborg and spend 5 weeks in an apartment I rent that is very close to the beach. I can hardly wait for May 4th to roll around!

I have been in Colorado since Monday visiting my brother and some cousins. Last night, I went out for dinner with a cousin to a place in Denver called the Thirsty Lion. On the way back, we drive past whatever the hell they call Mile High Stadium and I snarled at the place. Good times.

You needed to take a ripe doody at the entrance or at least put some dog poop in a bag, lit it on fire and left it at the door to Elway's office!

You're slipping Lonewolf Ed.........

Dave Lane is legit. I have a horsehead nebula picture hanging in my house via Dave Lane.

Oh. And I keep trying to get DaFace to bomb pile high for me, but we can't negotiate the details.

Okay, a) I have no great love for the Midwest either way as I thankfully no longer live there. That said,
b) There is literally nothing worth a **** about Kansas outside of Lawrence being a somewhat entertaining place to bop about for a day or two.
c) It was very nice of Josey Wales to save that old, trash-talkin' tramp's ass, now wasn't it?

I am at the center yet again and didn't get the news I hoped for regarding my MRI the Saturday before last. I do have avascular necrosis in my left hip and it is not reversible. So, apparently, hip replacement surgery is in my future. I am rather pissed off; I am tired of losing bits and pieces because of and to this damned cancer.

Sorry to hear about the hip Ed. If there is a positive side to the hip replacement it's the fact that the procedure has come along way over the last couple of years. I had a relative that had one last Monday and he was walking up stairs with the aid of crutches two days later.

With the new procedure they can go in through the front with the replacement, rather than the back, which avoids messing up a bunch of extra muscle and speeds up the recovery time significantly.

Here is a random explanation of the new procedure.
