I just lost focus

When I first started this blog, I didn't intend it to be an outlet for my political beliefs. It was intended only to be about me, describing my experiences dealing with MCL (Mantle Cell Lymphoma), and educating others about some of the pitfalls dealing with the US health care system, so that others could benefit from many of the mistakes I've made.

Of course along the way, the blog strayed from its original intent, mostly discussing my exploits on the bike, and dealing with the weather here in southern California, interspersed with the occasional diatribe on the US health care system. Most recently (due to a lack of inspiration) there were even a few posts pointing out how little people in the US really understand our health care system, and the lunacy [IMO] of those few individuals employing alternative treatments.

The problem is, the more I went down that road, the more frustrated I became, ultimately leading to my previous post where I indicated I just had enough. But more than anything I think I just needed a break. There have just been way too many things going on in my life lately. Dealing with my MCL for the past [nearly] 8 years, waiting for the next shoe to drop, dealing with changes occurring at the the company I've worked for over 20 years after being purchased by a MUCH larger company, and the continual dealings with unreasonable customers [and suppliers], among other things, just started to take its toll.

So here I sit, having calmed down considerably, deciding it's time to break my silence.

So in case anyone is interested, I'm still feeling fine [mostly], and I'm still managing to get 150+ miles per week on the bike (despite the rain, and otherwise lousy weather). I just have no intention of dwelling on issues I have no control over, instead choosing to focus more on the positive [hopefully not mundane] things in life.

Hopefully it will make for a better and more interesting blog!

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...
