Much has happened in a month. W/here do I begin?
Halloween has come and gone. I trick-or-treated with Gabe for the first time ever, despite it only being two houses. (My legs wouldn’t carry on.)
I visited 6 lodges (including mine). I met more brothers in the past 2 months than the past 2 years.
After 10 months of changing my diet and medication, I dropped 50lbs and finally fit into size 36 pants.
My son started a Lego program, karate, and turned 6.
I also celebrated 3 years in complete remission from Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
Amid double orthoscopic knee surgery, these legs of mine still aren’t meant for walking following 10 weeks of physical therapy.
OH! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my fainting episode that left me with a 2nd degree burn on my right arm.
Recently, I had a bit of luck with the ladies. This is a change and huge surprise.
So, what’s next?
This Monday, I have counseling, a full blood panel, and clinic check-up at the Dana Farber. Thursday, I will be at the Brigham for a left leg MRI and consultation on a full left knee replacement.
The holidays are coming and in a few weeks, so will my brother. It will be a grand time in the city when the Brothers’ Richmond come together. Man, I miss that kid and so does his nephew.
I’m running out of material, but truthfully I just don’t want to indulge this blog any longer.
Happy post Thanksgiving! Gobble, Gobble. (sarcastic snickering)
Cheers!

50 lbs is a crazy achievement. Congrats. That'll certainly help recover from the surgery too. My dad's getting the double knee replacement this Jan. He's had them both done separately, but neither took so they're finally just double teaming him.
