It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forum. I retired I 2020 and sat on my butt for too long so about 3 years ago I got on a fitness kick, started riding bikes again, hitting the gym and went to work part time in a bike shop.
Things were going well I dropped about 30 lbs and my fitness had really improved. About 6 months ago while getting ready to head out for a ride I had a pneumonia thorax (collapsed lung) the emts got to my place really quick and off to the hospital I want. They inserted a chest tube and had my lung reinflated real quick.
Unfortunately the chest X-rays pointed out an unusual mass in my right lung. It turned out to be cancer stage 1. They performed a robotic lobectomy and removed the upper lobe of my right lung. Lab tests indicate that they got everything and hopefully I’ve avoided chemo.
Recovery has been very slow but lately I’ve been running my sausage stuffed saws cleaning up a lot of stuff around my property which has caused me to think of the guys in this community so I thought I would drop in and say howdy again.
