Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 94

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 was supposed to be on the 19:00 flight but got on the 20:20 flight and at that time of day, the bus heading north comes every two hours, so I caught the very last bus to Lokken at 22:06 and arrived at 23:00, starving and exhausted. Being hungry for a long time is not good for me now, but I made it to the apartment and boiled 2 eggs and had some rye bread with butter and Havarti cheese. My feet were aching so much it took a while to fall asleep, but I slept pretty well overall.

travelling by air can be a real test of endurance and patience these days... even in freaking scotland!!!

get a little rest and hit the bricks my man! we are all anxiously awaiting your reports...

liked that picture of ahorse, er... stumppy beat me to it...

Ed, I enjoy reading your travels, sorry you are going through the other crap. Have fun but don't over due it.

Lonewolf Ed · 05-21-2016, 01:14 PM

I have been having upper abdominal pains and even an odd pressure against the inside of my ribs on the left side, which is new. I got pissed and punched myself in the gut earlier today and it made the pains go away where I hit myself. I probably won't try that again, though. I am having brown ales outside the cafe since there is a 50th bday party in there. I have had three so far, but I want another.

Sounds more fun than my day; I get Alka-seltzer and Ludens. I am living the dream.

My wealthy cousin's new "house" was way beyond my imagination and expectations!

Lonewolf Ed · 05-23-2016, 06:01 AM

The exterior.

Lonewolf Ed · 05-23-2016, 06:02 AM

And this...

Sweet Daddy Hate · 05-23-2016, 06:08 AM

Aye, now that's a lovely estate.

He has 3 square km of land, too.

Does he have a single adult-age daughter? And it's pretty cool year round there, right?

Yes, he does, which is PRECISELY why I didn't post pictures of Emma, especially since she was wearing tight jeans that day. I know how you guys are! If it hits 82 or 83, that is like a heatwave to them, and it would only happen in July.
