Howdy all,Back one day from an awesome weekend up at Lake Tahoe. I had planned to do a road ride or two and spend the rest of the time relaxing, reading, maybe swimming ... but I ended up doing three mountain bike rides and one 40 mile road ride. I feel really great right now and figured I should take advantage of this. I am still weaker than normal. I feel it mostly on tough climbs that need strong muscles and stamina so I made the best of it and did relatively easy rides. I rode the Flume trail, the Emigrant trail, Sidewinder on my mountain bike and rode from Tahoe City up to Truckee and back on the road bike. This the wacky group I vacationed with. They are lots of fun.
I have chemo again this Thursday and have been relishing my good days since they will be coming to an end soon again. I'm hoping for a better time this go around though. For those of you who know me well enough to have my phone number, I would appreciate a call this weekend. I usually feel crummy from Saturday to Tuesday. Sunday is usually my worst day.
Another note... my hockey club, the L.A. Blades entered two levels of teams in a recent tournament in Denver that I couldn't make this year. The upper team won their division and won $1000 for the charity of their choice. I was flattered to find that they chose Breast Cancer as their cause.
One last piece of great news. Doug told his Command Sargeant Major and the Commander on the mission about me and they told him he could leave his deployment immediately if he wanted to support me. We have decided to have Doug come home early to support me in my last chemo treatment, so Doug will be back on November 10, rather than a few weeks later.
Thanks for the continuing support.
It was am awesome weekend and you were awesome too Mo.
ReplyDeleteI'll call you from DollyWood.
Wow, that is GREAT news about Doug, and I'm happy to hear that the Blades chose cancer research for their charity. It sounds like you're living in the moment, which is something most of us could do better, I think. I'm proud of you.

I am really happy that you are having such good days and even happier for you that Doug can come home early.

Mo,
ReplyDeleteYou did awesome this weekend and you looked great! It was great catching up with you. I will definitely give you a buzz this weekend. Let me know if you are up for some company. Great news about Doug!! I'm glad that he will be there for you on your last treatment. Take care.
Good stuff - glad to hear that Doug is coming home.
ReplyDeleteHi Mo: Nice to hear that you'll have someone there for you. I'm flabbergasted that you continue to ride, but that is why you are kicking this thing's ASS!
ReplyDeleteLove you.
