Grease is the word.

Maybe he doesn't love Amy anymore, or vice versa

Both, at the same time. Spoon full of sugar and all that stuff.

Good news is the lungs are clear.

Bad news is that after 5-6 weeks of a sore lower back, which I assumed was in part due to handbike training, it increased on the ride back on the bicycle Sunday and became accompanied by a precident cough, which included coughing up blood on Wednesday (twice) and once yesterday. So in spite of bloodwork looking good as recently as the 6th it was decided that it was prudent to take a more in depth look at things today. There's a fairly significant mass in the lower spine. We'll have a course of action next week. I told family prior to testing that if its a reoccurance that has made it's way back to the lungs that I'm done with that battle, but I'll persue treatment otherwise, that was my line in the sand and the lungs are thankfully clear. My one clinical is still active, so we actually resumed 2 medications hours ago.

Here goes nothing (again).

Amy broke it off, but her mom is still in to him.

I might be heading down to your neck of the woods for a bit. I'll keep you posted.

I am not supposed to post medical stuff blah blah blah.

But lung being clear and a mass on the back that has been there a while is good freaking news. You can kick its ass I know you can.

In reply to NEALSMO:

Or the 2nd or the 3rd or the 4th. This will be my 5th go around in dealing with 3 different primaries, and 2nd reoccurrence. If I'm honest reoccurrences seem to be more draining and deflating to me. I'll feel better once we have a plan of action in place, limbo sucks.

On a brighter and incredibly related note, hopefully I'll be well enough to travel to Gainesville in the fall as tri training is on hiatus.
