Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 42

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!

I took a nap then had help getting out of bed, but I did it faster and with less pain by far than the first time. I was shaking from the pain for a bit, then got the walker and made another lap and at a faster pace than my first go around. I'm back in my room now sitting in the chair and my abdomen is not as sore as it was earlier. Also, I put in a "dinner" order... chicken broth, red jello, and orange resource breeze. Since I have not eaten for 2 days, I am sure this will be delightful. John, my nurse, said he was amazed at how well I did getting up and walking just one day after surgery.

Thank you for the honor! I have not started a thread with my ipad before, but I don't see why I shouldn't be able to. If I can't, I will message you ASAP. And I would like to say once again how much all of the support, love, and prayers from CP means to me. I am humbled.

You have enough guts for two sets of teeth.

Suck it up and drive on.

You will be the good juju this team needs to make it over the hump this year. Win or lose, preseason doesnt matter.

We just wanna make sure you know we're in your corner.

Hell yes. Get it Ed.

The docs came to change my dressing this morning and the chief assistant to my surgeon said he would see if the surgeon would approve having me eat actual food that I can chew today. Dr. Ashcraft came in a bit later and said he checked on me yesterday but I was snoozing. He said I was doing great and I thanked him for taking such good care of me. He replied that they would keep on doing so and said "Have a good day, brother" as he shook my hand. It really helps knowing that the people here care about me personally and I am not just the patient in room 4612. I may get a new room today, too.
