Keep On Truckin'

NOWADAYS, each time my body goes through the simplest of traumas, it takes me a couple of days or more to get over the assault.  And, while many of you might not see what happens to me as an assault as you define the word, it is definitely has the exact meaning that I have imagined.

My Prostate Biopsy Surgery was a simple matter, some might refer to it as a piece-of-cake, but let me assure you that even though it took place last Wednesday, today is the first day that my body returned to its normal state of operation...  that is to say in regards to my sleeping habits, my eating habits, my exercising habits, my hot tub habits, and my bowel movement habits...  and, until you have experienced what I am talking about and at my age, you have no idea what the simplest of surgeries can do to upset your body and the way it responds to daily life.

Plus, the day after my surgery, I was up at 6:00 am again because I had to go in the Cancer Center for my OPDIVO cancer treatment.  After each treatment there are side effects and even though those side effects are mild these days, they are nonetheless still present and when you couple that with recovering from surgery as well, especially with anesthesia...  well, let's just say you run the risk of pissing off your body more than normal.

The good news is that I am no longer peeing blood which means using the hot tub again is just around the corner...  however, there is a tad bit of frustration having to wait over a week for the results.

The bad news is, and I have mentioned this just yesterday I believe, and there is a growth or tumor in one of my lungs that could be malignant but I won't know for sure until the end of December and will not have a biopsy performed until January of 2021...

How would you like that hanging over your head during Thanksgiving and Christmas?
