Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 120

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 am also looking into a 5 or 6 night side trip to England so I can spend some time pubbing in London, head to the Cotswolds and visit Cheddar so I can find the tangiest, sourest, sharpest of all cheddar on the planet, and maybe a train up to Birmingham to meet a friend I know there and mingle with the Brummies, those northern bastards!

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.

**** yeah man! THAT is good news.

And so is this! I was up very late last night due to pains in my shoulder blades. For something to do, I checked my airfares again and Delta/KLM showed up at 455 dollars roundtrip but it had been showing at 1400 and over. I refreshed the browser, rubbed my eyes, checked for any stupid 24 hour plus layovers and found none, so I jumped on it. I was ready to go 1150 on SAS. Now I am going to Minneapolis to Amsterdam to AAlborg and the reverse coming back. I leave KC on 24 April and return 20 June.

My brother is going for 4 to 6 weeks and my nephew, who was never been overseas, will join us for 2 weeks or a bit more if we can talk him into it. I will teach him the finer points of beer drinking since he told me he doesn't like "those heavy beers." I will start him out on Carlsberg and Green Tuborg before moving to ambers and dark beers. Then we will move to the porters and stouts.

Sounds like a blast

The GF and I took that trip last month. Get a fill of the Cotswolds, my regret is the time there was way too short.

Lonewolf Ed · 11-23-2016, 12:01 AM

My friend, Chipp, is now going for 2 weeks and will make the side trip to England with me, too. It's looking to be a great trip! Now if only I hadn't thrown up the chicken and veggies in Thai peanut sauce I made for dinner. I feel like I lost a fight now. Ugh. I was eating and got about a third of the way through when my stomach leapt three times and I didn't even make it off the couch, but thank God for my tv tray. I hit the kitchen and raaaalfed in the sink about 4 or 5 more times. Damn this chemotherapy.

Breakfast is actually my favorite meal of the day! I LOVE some biscuits & gravy + eggs. Mix it all together.

They have this thing called "the Stretch" at the Broadway Diner in Columbia...Chili and gravy with onions on eggs and hash browns, covered in cheese. It's probably not any easier on ya than the Pad thai...but oh man, it's good.
