Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 169

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!

RIP Ed and I'm glad your suffering is over.

Wow. What a heartfelt and honest response Ed gave there. A good man for sure.

Dearest,

Thank you for an extraordinary journey of life, enormous courage and dignity. A story told with hope and heartbreaking eloquence to the very end!

May you rest in infinite peace in Paradise.

Tears letting go,

RIP Ed, solid guy, that I never had the pleasure of meeting. Completely my loss.

Chiefs4TheWin · 04-28-2017, 03:43 AM

I'm so sorry to hear this

. I've been reading this thread since he made it. What a real true hero. Never met him in person, but his story really hit home.

RIP Ed, and thanks for the parting words that touched so many.

Does anyone have a link to his obituary? I would like to read it if I could.

Thanks Daface! Did he not have any living relatives or a spouse? Usually they list surviving family and I would think a guy that young would have some.
