Pretty chuffed with myself. This evening I actually managed to go up the local woods with my wife, girls and the dogs. My first walk there since May 16. Could not hold dogs on lead on the way - too risky. I’ve managed close to 5000 steps today. Previously I’ve been lucky to do 750. Big progess. I’m knackered now though and it took me ages. But. I did it.
@Expat Jack I’ve just come across the post. So sorry to hear your news. If you’re prepared to go radical on your diet, your body may begin to heal. COVID flipped my thinking upside down and I’m now basically a hippy! Happy to send some links if you’re interested. All the best. Carl.
Thanks Carl. TBH I am awash with advice on diet etc from friends. I have lost a lot of weight but following dieticians advice I’m on the up. I will explore diet as this progresses and have several books that have been sent by another mate. Thank you for the very kind offer though.
Seems to me, raging against the dying of the light looks good to a guy drinking himself to death, but would be stressful, so weaken the immune system, so accelerate it. What you need to be is content and, since it's all about family, you can be. Which will strengthen the immune system, so you're quids in. Which sounds like putting a chunk of chewing tobacco in your cheek. I could understand if it was marijuana. Insofar as it's possible to know someone by posts on the internet, you seem like a good bloke - which is another reason to be content, of course; along with the predilection for going very fast on motorbikes. You should get a cat, though. And dye it yellow. Cover all the bases.
Small update, hopefully big consequences. Apparently the relentless treatment is working. So, I am informed that I have longer than the worst case life expectancy ( which I had already passed) I feel like shit but I can put up with that. And it’s sunny. And there has been tons of sport on. And I had a nice steak last night So. Onwards and upwards. Lots of challenges to face (and beat) to come. It’s gonna get me eventually but hopefully when I’m good and ready.Thanks to all for your support, kind words and wishes. To infinity and beyond!
