Been home for a few days now. Things are slowly... Very very slowly getting better. Still have massive water retention so they prescribed some lasix.

My last round of bloodwork showed improvements in overall health and my surgeons are very positive about things. I get bloods drawn twice per week.

Appetite is still the biggest issue. I really need to choke down food because all of the meds tend to mess with my hunger levels and some make me feel a little uneasy. Over time the meds will be reduced.

My one side has healed up pretty good but the right side not as much. With some staples removed, I started to leak fluid from my abdomen (normal) and it's a bitch to do anything.

Once things seal up I'll begin doing some things to increase strength a little.

Slowly but surely brothers, this recovery is gonna happen!

Glad to hear things are going good for the most part AA. I cant even imagine what you've been going thru bro, hang in there, at least you're on the mend now. In a short time you'll be back to normal and killing it in the gym, looking back at all this. It probably seems far away right now, but it'll be here before you know it!

I had all day chemo yesterday so I didn't get to train. One "benefit" is they always give me a hefty dose of prednisone in my port before I get the chemo so the next day I am WIRED. So........ I hit some guns today. Went well and had a nice pump going. Came home feeling good and chugged a protein shake. Fuck cancer. :action-smiley-055:

Broke tradition and did arms a day

I think you train arms as much as I train calves and delts. Which incidentally is what I'm training today.
