Did some chest today brothers! Went up to a whooping 185 on bench! LMAO! Hey! After the last couple months, fuck it! I am alive!!! Planning on some back tomorrow. I'll be conservative again. Don't wanna squirt my intestines out this incision. Messy. Planning on a good spring and my training will improve after this last sucker-punch.

Atom, you hang tough! And don't go talking about life being short because you are just getting started good. Nothing wrong with appreciating the little things. We all should no matter what out personal circumstances are. Makes life rich along the way. And BTW, your wedding will be beautiful no matter what.

Will talk soon T!

I chatted with my uncle today, he is a doctor and has seen all of my reports up to this point and he feels that surgery might not be needed if they do not feel the tumor can turn cancerous and can clear up my gallbladder. He said to talk to my GI doc about UDCA and getting an ERCP... he is a smart guy and generally pretty spot on with his medical advice

 

[thebrick]

Thanks for the kind words T. I don't feel like an inspiration, I just feel like a guy that got cornered. Tell your son I said hey, he's a cool guy. Like father like son.

Atom, you keep your head up. You're going a have a good wedding and summer. Its great to have someone in the family that you can get good medical advice. Knowledge is empowering. I can vouch for that from my own experience.

Trained back today. I was very careful. Still don't feel 100% strong in my core. Don't want to fuck it up so I hold back. I know someone at my gym who's mother lost a kidney to cancer and she told me the other day it was 3 months before her mother felt 100% healed post-op.

This big-ass scar is going to be cool. Planning on telling people when i go to the beach I was attacked by a great white.

OK, brothers, I wanna see some good lifts. Eye of the tiger baby.

Been thinking about you Atom. Any news from the doctors about the next step?

You all have a great Friday. Make it count for something.
