Sunday, November 22, 2009

Well, I saw Dr. Richards last Monday for my 6-week checkup and all is well. I had my medi-port flushed (successfully) and my blood counts/chemistry are all good. The process was started for insurance approval of my next PET/CT that will be sometime around the 2nd week of December. More to come on that.

This weekend was uneventful but from the perspective of bicycling it was simply incredible. I won’t even try to remember the last time that I went for a substantial bike ride two days in a row. But the weather was too good to pass up so yesterday I went for a 34-mile ride with Dan Nies and then today I repeated that same route by myself. I definitely had more zip in my legs yesterday but I felt just fine today. Today was a serious “stop and smell the roses” ride as the crisp fall temperature and sunny skies were terrific.

Assuming that I won’t be writing again this week best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. I won’t preach to you all here but as you know I’ve had cause for a bit of an awakening on this front… please try to take this time to think a bit about all of the good things we really should be thankful for.
