2//7/19 This is hard work....
OK kids, I've been diagnosed with cancer at the base of the tongue in my throat. Not a good thing, but every medico I've spoken to has been extremely positive and told me it is totally curable with treatment.
I'm not shopping for sympathy, but I'm not much of a talker about private stuff (much to Suzanne's dismay) so I'm writing this the keep family and friends up to date, and save you all a bunch of phone calls and emails. Maybe this will also help out someone who might go through the same thing somewhere down the track. It's always good to get the story from the horse's mouth, even if his tongue is a bit munted. 😃
I am wrung out, just exhausted. I'm so tired from lack of food and sleep that I have trouble staying awake when I'm standing up. Last Saturday I moved some boxes around in the garage then went o be early afternoon. I slept right thought to Monday lunchtime.
The good news is I'm getting little nibbles of real food every now and then, probably not enough to help physically, but it does mentally.
I have now managed to drop 20 Kg off my body weight...I seem to be the only person seeing the positive side of that. If I get down to 80Kg, I might go back to racing a 125 next year, now that would be fun.
At the Doctor yesterday Suzanne had her usual near meltdown about my weight loss, so the Doctor is putting me on a management plan. I don't see how it will help, but if it make Suzanne happy I'll give it a go.
Personally, I reckon it's pretty simple.
I'm being bed through a tube.
We ran out of tubes and couldn't get any. for about four days.
I was in hospital twice without food for at least two days because they didn't have any.
You think people could work out that if I don't get my feed for a week or so, I'll probably lose weight.
At least the water isn't an issue anymore.😊
I've started making a list of places to visit on a ride around Australia, either later this year of early next year. f you think there is anywhere I should absolutely not miss, let me know and I'll check it out.
