Today, it has been fifteen days since surgery, and I have gotten my staples out. That occurred yesterday afternoon, and things are improving from there. I had a chance to ride my bike yesterday for a short while, and though I was a little tired from it, I am fine today, and will probably ride more today. In fact, I need to let someone know that I have had my surgery, and I need to find something out by her, so I may try to ride out and do that today, depending on how far I can get. I think I might be okay to do that, though I will have to ride more slowly than I could before surgery for a while, but that's okay, too. I will get back into condition, and that will help me a lot. Things are okay with me, though I face the continuation of treatment now.

One of my nodes came back positibe for cancer, so I must endure chemotherapy now. That is a little nervous-making, but that is the way of this thing, and I must deal with it. My appointment is Thursday of next week, and I will find out then when things will begin, and in what order. I must discuss several things with my oncologist, including the lesion on my kidney, so that I can get the fullest benefit out of all of this. But we shall see what comes, and I shall report here what I find, and what steps I take to alleviate the symptoms of the treatment. We shall see what comes, and I will face what I must, and let you know just how things go for me. And as always, gentle reader, thank you for your kind attention.
