Where Have I Been

I haven't been blogging that's for sure. What I remember was blogging every day for a year, then only on Saturday, then golf season was here. That's that. 

This is my official retirement post. I don't do this a anymore. I still wake up earlier than I need to, but I read now instead of blog. I don't miss blogging. Like most things it doesn't stand the test of time. Most promises based on forever, or I'll always feel such and such a way don't stand the test of time. Do I miss blogging?  Fuck no!

I liked blogging, but like most things I can walk away. I blogged for over a decade. I ran a marathon at 40, and I turn 57 in less than two weeks. What???  

I was diagnosed with cancer this year. A thyloma I think they called it. I passed out at work, which I thought stroke maybe. Pneumonia,  plus a 3 inch tumor in my chest. Next thing you know my sternum is being cracked open, and tumor is removed. We still didn't think it was cancer at this point. Then I saw the test results. I was scared, but felt pretty positive, cuz I feel pretty good, with good energy. Anyhoo, my cancer people called me, said tumor was removed. There was no spreading, so I'll just need scans for a while. So, I had cancer for like two weeks. Then I was cancer free. I had an appointment with the cancer doctors this week. My cancer was rare. They don't know much about it. It is a slow grower, which is how it got to 3 inches and me no symptoms. My lungs and heart got used to be pushed around I guess. This cancer doesn't come back either, so I really am cancer free. My other internal organs were scanned to for another reason, and they are fine. 

Now I just need to heal up from surgery so I can golf. This type of surgery is the slowest to heal. 10-12 weeks. 1st 6 weeks 10 pound restriction, 2nd 6 weeks 20 pound restriction. Obviously no one is successful doing that all the time, but I do my best. I am still able to be productive at work. I just don't throw 50 pound bags od flour, and sugar around. 

My appetite is good. My weight is good. High 140s-low 150s. My cough is gone. The pre covid cough aka chest tumor. 

That's that. Blogging isn't horrible. It is probably good to do this. 

Anyway thanks for tagging along if anyone did. I enjoyed it. It was fun for me. I met people along the way, and they are all gone. I am 57 almost. I don't miss people. I like my silly little life. I am not much of a social networker. That shit I ditched for a year too. Now I have FB lite. Doesn't use as much memory. My current feed has a lot of miley Cyrus skimpy pictures. Why, I have no idea. I listened to one interview with Howard Stern. Why she is in my feed I have no idea. I definitely don't understand the world, and the people in it. 

Anyhoo, it's been fun.  

Thanks.  :)

Laterzzzzz.  :)
