I can't believe I feel this way

Even though I was tired yesterday after my bike ride, I felt good. I didn't do much after the ride, other than eat and rest, hoping I would be recovered enough tomorrow to maybe play around of golf.

Well, I am recovered today, but I have absolutely no interest in playing golf. I don't even have any interest in going to the practice range.

Of course, I'm not sure why I should be so surprised, as it's been about 2 months since I last played, and well over a month since going to the range to practice, and I haven't had any burning desire to play all that time.

I've even turned down a few opportunities to play, because it would interfere with my bike riding, and even now that I've been sitting around the house all day today doing absolutely nothing, I still have no desire to golf.depressed.gif

It's seems I'd rather be posting to my blog.

What has gotten into me?

I just have to get out of the house.

Maybe I'll go to the gym. Believe it or not, I have more interest in doing that, than playing golf.

Maybe golf just isn't cutting it for you anymore.

Or if worse comes to worse, you could come to work.

PS 3929/30 were bought off today :-)

Yeah, believe it or not, I thought about coming to work, but then I came to my senses. :)

I don't know why you're surprised you lost interest in golf. The real surprise is that were you interested in it in the first place?

Pretty dumb pastime if you ask me.

Yeah, well, maybe, but I can remember a time when I was playing 2, 3 and sometimes 4 days a week. Now it seems to be more of a chore to go golfing, than dawning all my winter gear to go for a bike ride, in 40°F temperatures.

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

Bowling: A metaphor on life [sorta]

Over the past 15+ years the game of bowling has changed dramatically. Not only has the equipment changed, making it easier for bowlers of all ages and physical conditions to participate, and score well, but there have even been major advances to how the lanes are prepared for the start of bowling. No longer is it just heavy oil, light oil, long oil, short oil, or no oil, with the latest equipment, the amount of oil can be varied from front to back and side to side, producing a myriad of patterns designed to make the game more interesting, more challenging and as you might surmise, more frustrating. No longer does the "one ball fits all" approach work any more either. In order to navigate all the differing possible lane conditions, you need to have a varied selection of bowling balls. Most pros will tell you the average bowler needs 3 balls, plus a ball for spares, but to be an above average bowler you'll need at least 6 balls, with many possessing more than that. But just...

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...
