My goal for today was to go back to work and work it til noon.

When  I left shortly after twelve noon I was tired, but boy did it ever feel good to get back at it. I’ll lengthen the day out a bit tomorrow and the rest of the week and see if I can put in close to a full day Saturday.

For those interested; in spite of the gas prices (aren’t they getting silly?) and the weather we are all enjoying, things look just fine up there at Sicard’s. Lot’s of sold signs, lot’s of new stuff coming in, lot’s going out. Looks like another just fine summer coming up.

Now, without breaking anything, I just need to get ready for it. Wish me luck

I haven’t been ignoring you, honest., at least not on purpose anyway.  I guess I’ll just get  the excuses out of the way so I can get back to the regular me.

I’m usually a pretty active guy but the last couple of weeks have been quite a struggle. I had it all figured out that because of the running and walking and climbing El Faro all winter,  I would come out of the hospital, recoop for a couple days and before the week was over I’d be power walking around 50 Point enjoying the fresh air, sun and flowers.

Somewhere the message got screwed up, somehow. Because there has been no sun and because the temperature isn’t usually much above freezing the flowers, smart little folks they are, are not yet appearing at a park near me. Actually, I’m not positve I can blame all this on the temperature, maybe the rain, snow, hail, sleet and wild winds played a part as well. Add to that, when they got my prostrate they also got my stamina.

Anyway, enough whining. Besides, I found a new Stamina and it’s starting to work pretty good.

Tomorrow I’m going to try back to work for a few hours (I’m looking forward to that) hoping I can add a little time each day until I get back to putting in a full day in a week or two.

Once again, thankyou all for the read. I’ll try to be a little more regular (I’m talking about posting on my blog here; the other regular is just fine thankyou)

I found a new one of those though, almost as good as the one I used to have.

In an office just down the hall from where in early October of last year we learned that I had prostrate cancer, yesterday, now mid April, we learned that all tests came back 100% fine. A-OK, Perfecto, Nada, Zero, Cerro! While they were at it they took back the staples in my belly and my little buddy, the catheter and bags. How do you spell relief?

Sadly though they could not do anything about my beer belly, Apparently that one is up to me to look after.

Strangely enough I had been totally focused for days about getting rid of the cather and staples and completely forgot that we were to get results of the tests they did looking for cancer while I was in the Hospital. For me, that news was 100% Bonus. And what a bonus it is!

Sadly though for the next little while I’ll only be buying 6 packs: The doctors say no heavy lifting  for at least a month. They also said no running for a while either. I was going to train for the Peach Bud 10K in Grimsby at the end of June, but now maybe not.

But I feel great, all systems seem to be coming along pretty good. It even feels like I’ll be out of the fancy pants I showed you a few days ago quicker than expected.

Marjorie commented in an email last night that the successful completion of my experince was a team effort. Right On Marjorie! And you are all members of that amazing team. I’m pretty convinced that with out all your thoughts, prayers and  words of encouragement it could have turned out quite differently.

Thankyou all.

Remember this: cancer can be Beaten!
