Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 23

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!

Hi, thanks for asking. I feel really good today, in fact, the best I've felt since arriving in Denmark back on May 5th. I slept more soundly last night than I have since arriving as well. With my colon cancer, I have been rudely awakened at night for months now feeling like I could dump a pound or two out, and only pass about a teaspoon of bloody goop. Last night, I didn't wake up until 6:30 am and had to take a big leak since we had some fine brews last night while watching an Eddie Murphy marathon on Danish TV. Haven't seen 48 Hours in a long, long time and it is still a riot.

Today, we have a VERY cool lunch planned for us. We're going to Lindholm Hoje where they unearthed an Iron Age village in the 1920s and there is a chef there who looks very much the part of the old days Viking. He's going to give us a tour of the grounds and museum after we feast. Man, I want to go pillaging Saxons today, too! My Viking ancestors are calling out to me!

Very cool man. But keep the inner Viking pillaging the cancer

**srvy** · 05-17-2015, 10:00 AM

Ed the inner Viking would have pillaged that 20 year old.

Enjoying the updates sounds like a great time. So that feast will be lamb leg and grog with horn hat on the top knot?

This is very cool. Very very cool...

Lonewolf Ed · 05-17-2015, 10:06 AM

I want to pillage her rotten, believe me! The feast was Ffffffffabulous today! The Viking chef opened our beers with his sword and explained each item on the long board upon which is was served. We had smoked salmon, marinated herring, a smoked cream cheese sauce for the fish, a pork pate, salami made with venison, a pork sausage, sliced smoked beef, two fresh baked breads, cabbage made like sauerbraten but sweeter, and smoked cheese. I'm stuffed and happy.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 05-17-2015, 11:59 AM

Damn, I wish I was doing some pillaging.

God speed, Sir Ed.

Lonewolf Ed · 05-18-2015, 01:33 PM

The strangest thing I've eaten over here so far was surprisingly good, but it sounds like it should be terrible. At the butcher shop we got a smoked summer sausage flavored with licorice, and it was terrific.

Ed, sorry to hear that whatever drugs you are taking have affected your sense of taste. Licorice NEVER tastes good. Ever.

On the other hand, perhaps the copious amount of beer you've ingested is the culprit.

Anyway, sounds like things are going fabulously over there.

PS. I've heard that pillaging makes licorice taste good. Hmmmm........you rascal!!!

European snausages are pretty damned tasty. One of my best memories was sharing fresh, off the farm Russian sausage and a few bottles of Kremlin Star vodka with my Ruski-mafioso buddies in Prague.

Sooo, is that supposed to be secret squirrel code for "Yep, I boned the 20 year old?".

I have a good rep in this little village and don't need to ruin it being labeled a cradle robber. Maybe i'll ask her today if her mom is single. Odds are 50-50 that mom is hot, too, right?

Go for it man, rejection is the same as not asking.

BTW, enjoy the trip!

You MUST be talking about the abomination known as red licorice. My policy is: If it ain't black, I throws it back!

Nah, I'd have PMed you right after I unloaded on her, or in her. If it was in her, I'd come back next year and see if it was a boy or a girl!

Lonewolf Ed · 05-21-2015, 01:23 PM

I just had a shot of the foulest liquor I have ever tasted. It is German, 58% alcohol, called Ratzepulz and I have dubbed it Rats Piss and Oven Cleaner. My God, it is hideous! It still burns in my gut a little. Errrrfff!
