Yesterday I enjoyed a wonderful fish and chips. Today, it all came back up. Dammit! I remember now that the second Monday after my chemo is a day of nausea and sleeping all day. Well, seems to be repeating itself. I blame it on the whole lemon I ate yesterday. Ate it like an apple. No accounting for cravings! Probably the pulp jammed my up a bit. Or more than a bit!
Did some fighting yesterday. Felt SO much better yesterday than today.
And its raining. I just watched three feet of snow vanish in two hours. And not before time! OTOH, for those dumb enough to build in a flood plain the river is getting even for all those nice views you got last summer! The Rideau River is two feet over its banks right now. Lots of nice riverview houses have a lot of water in their basements, not to mention the most saturated a septic field can possibly get. They are all moving out. Double price for water front property? Serves you right.
Just got finished with Dr. Beliveau's book on foods that fight cancer. The holy trinity is Tumeric, (combined with peppers to make curry) Flax seeds fresh ground and Tomato sauce. Wash it down with green tea, and you will never get cancer. Or rather, you already HAVE cancer (everybody has!) and this will keep it from vascularizing or otherwise growing bigger than a pin prick.
Funny thing though....my subconscious mind is smart enough to know what foods are good for me...so I get cravings for garlic and onions...foods which I normally detest. Also lemons and orange juice. Yogurt, hard boiled eggs, salmon and buttermilk. All good. And I throw up in the presence of a cheese burger and fried chicken. I believe that beef will kill ya sooner or later! I wish I could stand bacon and pulled pork, but it ain't gonna happen. Used to love that stuff. The subconscious mind says...Hey dude...the nitrates and smoke will kill ya.
Just thought it was weird that my cravings and Dr. Beliveau's book correlated so well.

update
Well, it took me two hours to navigate back to this blog. Why did they have to make it so hard. I have no interest in going with google 1. I just want a blog to post to.
Seems clicking on "dashboard" takes me to my YouTube account. WTF!
Oh well.
I am still alive. Against all odds. The cancer has progressed, so I think all the positive thoughts in the world are not gonna work. Sorry Laura, the author of "the secret". She obviously didn't have a cancer attached to her heart. On the other hand, I have gone to church, and the priest heard my first confession in 34 years. I took the host in a shortie mass after everybody else had left. After 34 years of dissolute lifestyle, my penance was fairly lengthy, and my legs went to sleep. But it was like an old Jimmy Stewart movie...everything was so bright and pleasant. Father Anthony had to help me up...I looked like "Bambi on ice". But it has put ME at peace. Not my dear wife though...who really needs a vacation. Looking after me is getting her more and more stressed out.
So I have been pretty much focusing on myself. I have trained an armourer to take over that legacy business, and have trained a sword handler to take over the fighting side. Another legacy. Other than that, I have been focusing on getting better. Hopefully now, we can get the summer show season off the ground...make some money.
Its nice that people are still coming over to chat with the old man. (Old...hell...I only LOOK old because of the chemo...I am really only 57.) Tomorrow, I shall attempt to do some sword training. I still have things to teach the young Turks.
It has been the winter of winters this year! Not a record snow fall, but nearly! But long. I still have four feet of snow in my back yard. And the septic system has frozen. Bummer. Poor Brenda...she has a house without a sewer. Well...give it a week or two...should fix itself.
If not...well...we may have to move into a hotel for a few weeks until it all thaws. Not gonna dig up septic runs in April! Not in Ottawa! Oh well...it doesn't rain but it pours.
Well, enough of that. Cheers!
