29 Months Later!

So here I am 29 months into my new life. It seems to me that lately I’ve been writing about everything except how I am. Well… here’s an update. Health wise, I’m doing great! My cardio I would say is back to almost 85%. I’m still working out with my nephew 3 to 4 times a week. We both decided to get our membership with “Lost Battalion,” a great place to play basketball and lift weights this winter. As far as my bike riding is concerned, I will keep on riding. I have learned from experience how to prepare for the cold weather. As long as the temperature is above freezing and the wind is below 12 mph, I’ll have no problem. My therapy is also going great at this stage. I just had a CAT scan with positive results. My treatment every other week has become mundane. I do love going to my therapy for another reason though. The friendly nature of the Doctors and staff has been extremely helpful with my therapy. The friendships I’ve made during this awkward part of my life are very important to me. We talk about everything except my diagnosis! What it all boils down to for me is that I’m finally living! That’s right! I’m not just existing, I’m living life! So in all actuality, it took a diagnosis of cancer for me to live stress free! How ironic is that! My anathema for cancer will never change. It destroys people and turns their lives upside down. I thought it would do the same for me. It didn’t. My attempt at poetry is getting better also. Some even think that I’m pretty good at it. I intend to put more time and effort into that endeavor. This is a beautiful time of year. I used to dislike every season except for summer. Now I appreciate the life I live. Each and every day, no matter what the circumstances are, I enjoy and am thankful for. My faith will not waver! Peace and blessings!
