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???????????????

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...
