Ensure

Staring at my mid-morning bottle of Ensure I reflected on the fact that four short weeks ago I was wondering how to get 10 pounds lighter...now I'm constantly thinking about how to gain weight! Nothing like a radical hysterectomy and cervical cancer to drop the weight...not really what I had in mind a few weeks back...oh, well. I feel as if I've aged 20 years. All my muscle tone has vanished and I don't think I could ride my bike around the block. I can, however, walk around the block and should probably be doing more of that. I've had problems with my bowels but found out today that is due to an infection I have (too many antibiotics in the hospital) rather than the radiation. I'm now on Vancomycin. The doctor has promised I will feel better soon, which is great news. The toilet and I have become best buds but it is getting a little old. I'm hoping that I will have a little more energy when this bowel problem improves.

In this photo, Brad and I and another rider have parked our bikes outside a convenience store. This was taken on Prince Edward Island during a week long organized bicycle ride. It was a little on the warm side, dusty, and windy. We eventually piled our bikes into the sag wagon and took the van back to the resort!
