So, it has been a week since my last post. What have I been doing? Living deeply and sucking the marrow of life; while trying not to choke on the bone!
After two months of chemo, my appetite and energy are slowly returning. Last week, I was finally able to get on my spin bike.
Since Monday, I graduated from my bedroom cycling to tackling the mean streets of Ashburn…
I have to get all the riding in that I can as it probably won’t be until next Spring before I’ll be able to ride again.
When I am not riding, the amazingly wondrous USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore fills my time with spectacular exploits. This past Tuesday, the USO hooked me up with VIP Box tickets to a Nat’s game! Regrettably, my wife and kids couldn’t make the game so some good friends tagged along:
The food: delicious;
The game: exciting;
The view: magnificent;
And the company: priceless!
I am happy to report that I am able to eat more than rice and potatoes! Yummy yeahs all around!
My stomach is prepped for an Original Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich and a Pizza Margherita prior to my surgery scheduled for Monday, August 26th. Wish my intestinally fortitude good luck!
Now, I am going back to partying like a rock star right up until surgery.
More reporting on my misadventures out-and-about and culinary journey coming soon.

Thank you, David, for establishing this record of courage, faith, hope, and determination as you meet such an unexpected challenge rearing an ugly head in the face of the many accomplishments you have prepared and worked for through the years – including being an exemplary husband and father, and your recent professional advancement to colonel!
All of these have given you experience in developing great strength of character. This strength now shines through as an example for fellow cancer patients, those who will become such, and others whose challenges will come in different areas. It also gives me, your aunt who knows you better as a child than an adult, an opportunity to recognize your maturity and ability to face this adversity in the best possible way.
You are remembered daily in our prayers, and your name is kept on the Lubbock Texas Temple Prayer roll.
We look forward to a very successful surgery for you August 26th and send much love!
Dianne Anderson and Lane, too
