In Memoriam>Good news [Lonewolf Ed]
Lonewolf Ed 04:51 PM 01-24-2015
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!

Are you walking the streets looking for johns or for sight seeing? One will wear you out more than the other!:-)

Enjoy the rest of your trip, drink beer and get healthy!

Sounds like Europe is agreeing with you!

No, no! I was in that town to go to the bank and library. Speaking of the bank, if you want to see socialism in action, that is a good place. There is a new cap on how much you can withdraw from your account, 10,000 kroner (about 1500 dollars depending on the exchange rate.) I was too pissed to ask if that was per day, month, or year. No wonder the Danes are so happy. The government removes so many of those stress inducing important decisions from their lives. Ahhhh, nice.

As I knew before coming over, it was exactly what I needed.

I did a few posts above this one. It still has me steamed, though. Who thinks they know better how much money anyone needs than the person him or herself? Socialism is not about having faith in the individual, though.

Cheers to all of you! Behold, Jacobsen Brown Ale in all of its glory. I wish there was a way you could smell the wonderful aroma of the 6 malts it is brewed with, too.

And you wanted pics of hot Nordic blondes? How is this one to my left outside of the cafe where I am enjoying my brown ales?
