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 results are in

And I am iron deficient, big time. [Which would account for my low hemoglobin] Test Result Ref Range IRON 30 59-158 mcg/dL TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY 231 250-420 mcg/dL IRON SAT 13 20-50 % My Ferritin levels were good, but that could be because Ferritin is also an "acute phase reactant", that is sometimes increased with acute or chronic disease. Folate and B12 levels were also within the normal range. The only problem now is determining what is causing the iron deficiency, which in the case of men, is [very] rare. My oncologist has given me a Globin Fecal test to perform, and has scheduled me for a consultation with a colorectal surgeon to discuss performing a colonoscopy, which could be problematic because of my large spleen. In the mean time, I've decided to start taking an iron supplement, it's only the quantity that is causing me some consternation. I've been told by a very knowledgeable person that to overcome an iron deficiency, I need to be taking 300 mg o...

This is just one of those days

It's one of those days you just want to sit around the house and do absolutely nothing, or watch some movies you have recorded. It might even be a good day to read a book, if you were so inclined, which I am not. As you should be able to see from the view out my bedroom window, it is raining outside. The rain started last night, and hasn't let up since. I can't complain too much though, as this is the rainy season, and we do need the rain. Plus Monday's are typically my day off from exercise, so I will surprise everyone, and not complain. I just feel sorry for anyone who might be visiting from, say Argentina, like a friend of mine (fellow MCLer), who happens to be in Cambria today. He might be a little disappointed. Fortunately the rest of the week, when he will be in LA, will be nice, and the real intent of his trip was to visit his son in Tahoe, who works at one of the ski resorts, and ski, so I know he's not complaining too much either. This weather will actually...

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...
