It's been a while. Getting stronger as the days go by. Sleeping less and feeling better. Everything but the numbness in the hands. Very annoying. Apparently normal and will go away in a few months. Took Rhys to her first Canada day celebration. Steveston Salmon festival and parade downtown. What a day. That was yesterday.
Today was a new day. Saw my cousins off back to England in the morning. Always good times when family gets together. And the british accent is so suave and cool. June and I then went for a bike ride on the dyke to steveston. You know what's a pretty good shot at your manhood- when your wife is towing the trailer with your daughter and you are not and everyone looks at you when they ride by. Ah well- last time I went with the manhood deal and towed her- I suffered for 3 days afterwards. Waiting for that "I had cancer- not just a wimpy dad" t- shirt in the mail. Stupid postal strike. haha
I was reminded again recently about how precious life is- listening the to Jim Rome show. He had on a pro golfer named Erik Compton. This guy had 2 heart transplants and had a heart attack with one of them and still survived. He said a lot of stuff on the show that brought back some memories of my treatment. He said he doesn't complain about things anymore. He felt like it was his time, twice, and yet he survived. Living on borrowed time he called it. He lives each day like it's his last. Enjoying every moment for all its worth. Pretty inspirational. I think I still complain sometimes- gonna try and cut that out. Hope everyone is doing well. If I haven't seen you yet- please call and we can arrange something. Peace out...
