The more I sit around the house doing nothing

The more I want to sit around the house, and do absolutely nothing. The more I think about my MCL.  The more I worry about every little creak, lump, bump or other oddity I feel in my body, and worst of all, the sorrier I begin to feel for myself.

Monday is typically my rest day, but I usually do manage to get out of the house and do something, what ever it might be.  I might go shopping, hit some golf balls at the range, or I might even go to the gym.

But yesterday I didn't do any of that.  I got up around 5 AM, posted to my blog, and after having a bowl of cereal, I plopped myself down in my lounge chair in front of the TV, watching the business channel, while I waited for the US Open play off to begin between Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate.  

I had every intention of going to hit some golf balls after the match, but by the time it ended, there was another show on TV I wanted to see, so I just kept watching.  

By then of course it was too late to do anything.  Edie would be home soon, and.........

So I went and checked some of the emails from the message boards I belong to on the internet, further depressing myself, until Edie got home, after which I plopped myself right back down in front of the TV waiting for dinner.

It was a completely wasted day, and now this morning, all I want to do is more of the same.  

I was planning on racing at Eldo this evening, so I wasn't going to ride this morning, but I know if I don't get out of this house soon, I may never want to get out of the house.  So I'm definitely going for a bike ride this morning, and hopefully I still feel able enough to go racing at Eldo tonight as well.

Okay, first of all, if you're home all day why is Edie cooking dinner? And B, she has her own health and your health issues to deal with and she doesn't need to come home to a whiner.

Dude, get your ass in here and work! Then you will have a whole new topic to whine about. The price of gas, road construction on PCH, what idiots you are forced to work with. I could go on and on, but I think you've already touched on each topic. Oh, I got one, you could whine about wine! At the very least, you can come in and listen to ME rant.

Don't forget, I won't be in tomorrow as I have a date with a toilet or Thursday as I have a date with a proctologist. So, yeah, I'm not feeling real sympathetic this week. Try again next Tuesday.

MISS ME???????????????

The green tea phenomenon

Despite being a heavy drinker of green tea since my diagnosis, mainly for its cancer prevention, and hopefully cancer curing qualities, I recently have developed a new found enthusiasm for green tea. Now whether it has been the green tea I have been drinking for the past 6+ years, my heavy exercise routine, or just pure chance that has kept my MCL stable, or at least [very] slow progressing, for the past 7+ years is certainly open to debate, but based on past research, I have chosen to believe green tea has at least helped to some degree. So what has given me this new found enthusiasm? Well, a friend of mine, and cycling buddy, was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer, and knowing my daily regimen called to ask my advice on green tea. He had already done a lot of research on the subject, so when I told him my obsession with green tea consisted principally of drinking the least expensive, decaffeinated green tea available (Trader Joe's brand of 18 tea bags for $3, and more recentl...

Alternative treatment blowback

I received some interesting criticism the other day for my stance on alternative therapies. I ......... cannot for the life of me understand why you would not use supplementation and then use an over the counter poisonous liquid which has proven liver toxicity. Especially while taking a statin. She was referring to the use of an over the counter cough medication, I have been taking to help ease the symptoms of my upper respiratory infection. I did this once and vow to never use it again! I have gotten off Lipitor by using Nicotinic Acid and getting much better results but still use COQ10 to protect Liver as you must do while taking Statins. If you are not using CoQ10, I urge you to research this issue. MCL reduces your D3 and should be taken everyday! I use 5000mgs a day. I was sorta taken aback. She was partially correct. I'm against taking supplements, but when necessary I don't have a problem taking over the counter medication, when my ailments finally get the better of me. ...

When is enough, enough?

Today I learned, Lance Armstrong, the most drug tested athlete in the history of sport, is being accused of doping, again . This time by the US Anti Doping Agency (USADA), who claim they have collected blood samples from him in 2009 and 2010 that were “fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions.” Really! What took them so long? The French have been trying to make allegations of drug doping stick for years, ever since he won his first Tour d'France, but to no avail. And now the USADA claims to have evidence to support that claim, and they've waited almost 3 years before releasing this evidence. Needless to say, I am skeptical. Then there's this from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO): Increasing the federal excise tax on cigarettes by 50 cents per pack eventually would increase Medicare and Social Security spending, slightly. Eventually? What is the CBO suggesting here? That we should encourage smoking, because if we don't, in...
