CT scan done, now with the mystery moles

First CT scan since Sept. was done this week Thursday Feb 24th. Won't find out the results though until March 7th when I visit the doctor next.

Did find a few "suspicious" moles on me today at the doctors. I went because one was itchy for the first time ever and I thought that strange. The doctor looked me over and found 3 discolored ones they didn't like, so I'm getting them removed (free by OHIP because they are suspicious, not cosmetic) on March 10th. They will then send them to a lab to be biopsyed and checked for cancer.

I hope they find nothing. But I'll be glad to get rid of some of my moles. lol
Unfortunately, they are hidden, unless I'm swimming, so no one will notice them gone. My prominently visible moles will remain, as their color was fine.

Work went ok, still sick though.

Work on monday went well. I lasted the full day and was able to help with a few problems they were having. Throat cold migrated to my sinuses half way through the day which was annoying. The cold made me feel more tired than I should have felt by the end of the day, so I was glad to relax at home.

I still have the sinus cold, but the throat pain has subsided a little, so that's good.

I took today (Tue) very easy. Stayed in bed for most of the day trying to rid myself of the sinus cold. No luck. So I'll be going to work tomorrow with a Kleenex box. But then I'll have 4 days to recuperate before my next work day (Mon). My family seems to have shaken the cold bug, so hopefully I'll shake it soon as well.

[Friday Feb 11th] Looking forwards to work.

Family is going through a sore throat phase. I've caught it too it seems. First sickness since the whole cancer thing started. Just before work on Monday too. Great timing.

100 push up progress: Week 1 Day 3 (should have been week 2 day 3, but I've been pacing myself, especially with the snow shoveling of last week): 5 sets, reps = 11,15,9,9,13 = 57 push ups in total. 120 sec between sets.
For those who missed it this is for the web site challenge: http://hundredpushups.com/ .

I'm approaching 115 lbs. I think I'm 114.6, to be precise. So I'm on track. Still averaging a pound or two per week of gain.

Looking forwards to work on Monday, but not if this sore throat continues. Hope it goes away soon.

We don't have much planned for Valentines, but we're planning on taking a weekend off in March for our anniversary. We have a multiple day baby-sitter lined up and everything. Take in a hotel in T.O. and go see the A.G.O. for an East Indian art exhibit and feast.

For Tao's Birthday (which is March 9th) we're planning on having the kids (3 of them) go to a kids indoor play area by themselves (instead of a massive schoolmate crew) and instead have a 2nd party of family at our place as the actual "party". Date to be determined. I'm not going to get too specific with dates on this blog, as it is world readable, and I don't want to invite people to rob us, or crash parties, etc. Kaye will likely send out a proper invite via email or phone (or both) so don't wait for the details to show on this online blog.

Regards,
Shane

114 lbs

Made it to 114 lbs. Still look like a stick, but I'm fleshing out a little.

Eating is becoming easier. Body still doesn't like pepsi or coke, too much sugar.

Had to pause workouts for the week due to snow shoveling.

Return to work confirmed with all parties (work, RBC, doctor, me) as Feb 14th.

• First two weeks: Mon / Wed
• 2nd two weeks: Mon / Wed / Fri
• 3rd two weeks: Mon-Wed / Fri (Thu off)
• 7th week is first full week of 5 work days.
