For 6 weeks or more, for sure since the double pneumonia my stomach has been upset, achy, on edge and generally quite uncomfortable. There were two rounds of antibiotics for the pneumonia, one which I’ve had several times before without any problem. I’ve had less experience with the other type (ciprofloxacin). So, it could be Read More …
The sound track of my hospital stay for the plurodectamy. As the drainage and air leak continue I’m told “one more night” and then we’ll re-evaluate. Surgery was Feb. 20th and the stay was planed for overnight. It’s Day 4, Feb 23rd.
Delight that it’s finally completed! So, back in June of 2022 I was at the dentist complaining about some pain in one of my molars. This molar had a root canal and crown done a while back and I didn’t think anything else could go wrong with that tooth but, apparently I was wrong! The Read More …
My room is quite a nice room. Just me, lots of space and a washroom. Because it’s reverse isolation there are a pair of doors and a small hallway to get in. Sort of like an air lock. But, there are no locks on the doors or curtains on the windows in the doors or Read More …
The biggest advantage new variants have on us is our behaviour. The real Kraken is no longer the virus – it’s our monstrous level of indifference to the pandemic’s ongoing, and inequitable, carnage. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-covid-kraken-has-been-released-but-its-not-a-variant-its-our/
You know, those “things” that you discover by experience that “somebody” could have told you about, given you a heads up, perhaps a subtle hint or something rather that discovering it cold turkey. Many of these “things” seem to be age related. As you get older have you ever found yourself thinking “I wish somebody Read More …
2022 is the 15th anniversary of Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer to raise funds for Princess Margaret Cancer Centre research and my 2nd ride. Not being in Toronto it’s a bit of a solo event as opposed to the fully supported ride from Toronto to Hamilton on Day 1 and then on to Niagara Falls Read More …
Well, today it happened. 200 or less on Tuesday! As I posted a week ago I set a goal earlier in the year. And, in spite of Domino’s pizza and a couple of glasses of wine last night, the goal was achieved this morning at 198.4. I know nobody but me cares about this but Read More …
Back in February 2022 I embarked on a weight loss program. I’m sure that this is something that many of us have done from time to time but this is the first time I’ve been serious (sort of) about Dorning some weight. Back in April 2021 I dipped below 200 lbs and I wasn’t even Read More …
So, along with loosing some weight I’ve been focused on another cycling fitness goal, that of improving my Functional Threshold Power or FTP. Once upon time I hit a record high in my FTP of 311 way back in January 2014 and that was the last time it’s been anywhere near that good. Over the last 4 Read More …
