Red sky in the morning

cimg0462Sailor take warning?

I've never held much credence in that statement, because I've never found it to be true, but then again, I'm not out at sea.

Got up this morning, and this picture of the sunrise got me to thinking about that saying. Maybe the red sky, just isn't red enough, as the forecast for today is partly couldy and a high of 81°F.

Of course maybe the red sky has more to do with my hand then anything else.

I just can't do much with it, as there is still considerable swelling. Fortunately, with the exception of slight twinge every now and then there is little pain. The worst part is, I'm starting to have trouble maintaining my weight.

So Friday I decided to go for a short run (to ease back into exercising), and then Saturday I went to the gym for a ride on the life cycle, and another short run. I even thought the hand was improving, but then Sunday, I spent most of the day helping out at our club cyclocross race, after which it seemed my hand started to swell up some more.

Now I'm not sure if I should go to the gym again today, as I'm concerned the effort may be causing some problems.

I'm almost wishing now I hadn't done this hand surgery. I just hate this!

I don't understand what the red sky at morning has to do with your hand? Does it hurt more?

The reason the sunrise or sunset is read is the sun is at it's lowest point. The sun rays break through the atmosphere, with red wavelengths being the longest, therefore the most often seen.

So, if it is in the morning the rays are shining upward which means they coud be richocheting off of a front, but they are often fiery red. At sunset the sun rays are shinnning down so the front is high and not to be worried about.

Jesus even spoke about this occurence in the New Testament. But then agin he hung out with fishermen so they might have "informed" him, like Captain Reynolds did me from my days as a galley whench Argggggggggggggggg

But I did cheat and google the correct terminology.

I thought fat people were happy.

PS we have a new sales person today.

It was the warning thing about exercising and my hand.

I was thinking of it as kind of like a metaphor.

Well, then you should take warning.

Tell Edie we should have puppies any day now.

You should have taken my advise and skipped the surgery... Just think your pinky finger would look just like mine in a year or so!
Well off for a 75 miler before it rains!

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...
