Day one post-chemo and I set a personal record on the deadlift! Anna was headed up to New Liskeard for an acupuncture treatment this morning, so I figured I'd tag along and spend some time at the fitness centre. I did the workout from last Thursday (deadlift 3-3-3-3-3). That means deadlift a barbell three times, then add some weight, and continue for a total of 5 times. I started at 135 lbs. and worked my way up to 315 lbs. That tied my one rep maximum, so I decided to keep going with some singlets. Tried 335 and failed. Rested and went again at 325, got that. Rested again and tried 335 again--got it!
I'm feeling pretty good. Took one anti-nauseant earlier. I have some grumbles in my belly. But I'm not tired. Maybe that's just the prednisone talking. We'll see on Sunday. Apparently the day after you stop prednisone you're knocked down flat. Until then I'll use my energy up in the daytime so I can sleep well at night.
It's snowing outside and Lake Temagami is looking cold and icy grey.
By the way, Anna gave me a mohawk haircut last night. No photos as yet!

Anna and Bob -
Sending you healing thoughts from New Hampshire. One of the sufi healing practices is to breathe in "Ya Shafee" (Oh Divine Healer) and breathe out "Ya Kafee" (Oh Remedy). You both will be in my thoughts and breath.
Blessings,
