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!

I started the gameday thread at midnight and hope it is a good one. I walked around the hospital wing 4 times today and it was rough the first 3 since I was able to use the toilet today and it hurt my abdomen to sit on it and also getting up. I had shooting, searing pains across my abdomen several times as I slowly plodded forward using a walker. I never came close to falling, but my knees did buckle a bit with the pain. The last walk I took went much more smoothly and I only had a few twinges, not very severe. Getting in and out of the bed is still a harsh ordeal but I am sleepy now so after one more trip to the can, I will go to bed.

Have you been able to pass gas yet? I think that's the worst part of the recovery from abdominal surgery.

I knew someone would ask that! I started yesterday a bit after 6 am, but the second one was more than I bargained for. I got a fresh gown and beddding afterwards, though. It hurt sitting down and getting off the can until I discovered if I leaned forward so my knees were past my feet, it hurt less getting up.

The doc came in this morning to check me out and said he would consult with the surgeon doctor who is the head of my team about releasing me today. I'm surprised at that since they were just hacking and slicing on me 3 days ago.

Hope you're doing well, Ed!

Wait a second. Of course you're well. You're a fucking Viking! :-)

One day we'll be cured of this junk! I will drive my fat ass to Kansas and have a drink with you!

I am being released today, but don't know when yet, though. I ordered a late breakfast since I know it won't be in the next hour or two. Experience has shown me that.

A day earlier than expected is very good news. Bad news its a Sunday so most likely the Doc will come around after his round of golf.

I actually had a doc come in and see me around 9 am this morning and he said there was no reason to keep me here. I asked if I can shower without protecting my incisions and he said it's fine as is. I've got staples in my gut and will have to come back in 2 weeks to have them removed. Can't I just go to Office Max or some such place instead?
