That's really good to hear, thanks man. 👍😁👍

Just tell him to don't stress on posting here, just relax & heal up right. ✌️ We can wait around a lot easier now. 😎

Had it not been for some observant neighbors, I would have died on my kitchen floor.

Thanks for the wishes.

Rehab places are generally terrible sadly no oversight and lack of good well training staff that can handle things. Good luck and hopefully you recover quickly and you find a good place to rehab!

Wow that is scarey. Sounds like you still have quite a ways to go. Heal well. We missed you.

Glad to hear you're doing better.

No solid food in rehab? Think of the training you can do for touring: eating ice cream, slurping milkshakes ...

Indy -

Back between 2014 to 2016 I was diagnosed Stage IV.
(I still don't think they were right, but it was a shocker all the same.)
My first series of treatments - in 20212 - went south after a year.
I got a "nice" letter from Mayo Clinic saying I might want to put my affairs in order.
Not the kind of letter most people want to receive.
But I am thankful my friends and I have a healthy gallows humor.

The unsuccessful treatment did give me some improvement, at least.
I decided that, whatever else happened, I'd go down biking.
In 2014 I did a little ride in Grand Teton N.P. - and I mean little.
The pathetic thing was that I was embarrassed. Geez!
I did a bigger trip in 2015 and a cross-country in 2016.

Riding up White Pass in Washington - one of the easier passes -
I had to stop every 1/2 mile or so. And hoped no one would see me.
Isn't that crazy? Why should it matter, anyhow?
Fact is - they're only going to pass me once and never know I stopped 1/2 mile back.
As if any of that mattered.

Here's my trip journal over at Crazyguy -
https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/..._id=17976&v=UV

Easter is still 8 weeks away - - who knows?
There are some nice trails fairly close to Indianapolis.
The Little Miami Trail comes to mind.
Just a day trip - with a friend?

Hopefully you won't be like me and get all miffed at yourself.
My wish for you is for a perfect, sparkling early April day.
And a bike ride that is restorative in so many ways.

Jama

PS - 2nd set of tx in 2017 were/still are successful. It's all borrowed time.

Hoping for continued improvement. Even if the Easter trip is dramatically shortened to just a few miles on the MUP, it's great to have goals.

Ha, I've been on an anti-diet for awhile, trying to gain weight. At last check, I was 163, which is good for me. I might have a little more now, grapes & oranges are plentiful here 😎😁

Brother, you are in my prayers. I hope you heal well and heal completely. You are perhaps my favorite BF member.
