Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 119

Lonewolf Ed · 01-24-2015, 04:51 PM

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!

You hang in there, too, and baffle those docs when you go past what they said you have left. My hurdle is next August. If I am alive past then, I am really going to rub their noses in it. Of course, that could jinx me into dying on September 1st. Gah, what a thought... dying during preseason football! The horror!

I'd like to make it through Christmas so I can spend it with my daughter. That will be the back end of the 3 to 6 months they gave my in July. Really wanted to go to Maui during Christmas to go see the Humpbacks, but it's hard to make travel plans when the doc said you won't be able to travel at that time due to being dead.

Hang in there brother.

Here's a little viking metal drinking music for your Saturday night!

I get to be freed from the infusion pump at 11 am tomorrow, so I will be much more lively after that. I hope my energy level kicks up by Friday.

Ed's a bad ass

I am not feeling so good. Part of it is the 3 or 4 lbs. I lost in ten minutes yesterday when the colon went berserk. I feel like someone hit me across the waist with a broom stick. The other part is stress. My dad had surgery on his back which seems to be a success, but now I have to do even more to look after things. The cleaning people broke a tile in my folks' shower, so I cut a new tile yesterday and caught my mother just before she swallowed a big glob of premixed tile grout. I have no idea why she tried to eat some and when I asked what the hell she was doing, she denied trying to eat any. So, I asked, ummm, then why is it all over your face? She said she didn't know. You know what is great about being 94 years old? NOTHING!

I need a ride to the nearest looney bin where they can put me in a nice, quiet, dark room.

**IA_Chiefs_fan** · 11-14-2016, 09:01 AM

Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time, brother. Thinking of you.

Sfeihc · 11-14-2016, 09:46 AM

Good vibes sent your way, Ed.

Lonewolf Ed · 11-21-2016, 11:58 AM

I am at the center once again receiving chemotherapy. I spoke at length with my nurse practitioner and mentioned the pains I was suffering over the weekend, and she checked me over and didn't think anything was too out of the ordinary. I was very concerned with my glucose levels but she told me not to worry about it. I don't want to become diabetic and she said I am not. I will still avoid Krispy Kreme on the way home, though. I mentioned Denmark and when I would go, staying for about 8 weeks and she said to go for it. If I die over there, they can keep my carcass until Chipp and Rod arrive since they know the places I want my ashes to be spread, so I have it all covered. Now to start making my plans and jump on a good airfare.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 11-21-2016, 05:42 PM

Denmark awaits!
