Recovery

It's been a slow go cycling this winter. Cancer and surgery have kept off my bike, except for a few rides around the neighborhood, since December 18th. Doctor's removed my right tonsil and the tumor it contained, then removed lymph nodes on Jan 10th. Indications they got all the cancer and I'm looking forward to a quick recovery. Drain tubes in my neck will come out next week and I hope to get back on the bike shortly thereafter. On the upside, I've lost 10 - 15 lbs during this time. The first surgery involved some damage to my tongue, which is still swollen and limits what and how much I eat. I've also had to give up beer due to the medications, damn. And its NFL playoff season!
