Did I mention I play waterball? ha ha

Yes - that is pretty much what I do here... now that it's twice per day. 11-1 then 5-7. Yesterday I 'met at the flagpole' at the usual time for heading to the neighouring spa to play there. Only one other player met there - the 22 year old grandson of someone. We waited around long enough to realize we had been stood up - but instead of giving up on the idea, he ran home, borrowed granny's car, picked me up and we headed next door on our own. The other spa was happy to see us since they didn't have quite enough players for a good game. So the two of us got OUR waterball in..... And I got to go home and brag that I had a 22-year old date instead of an 82-year old date....

Bob keeps telling everyone that I have all the old men lined up around the block. Then I said that the REALLY sad thing is that isn't even true. And shouldn't it be true????

After yesterday's game, I had a chat with Chuck, who is 86 years old and still playing waterball - and doing it well! He is also missing a breast to breast cancer. Although he was 71 when he was diagnosed and they took out 32 lymph nodes and they were all negative so he decided to skip chemo. Obviously it worked out for him. Breast cancer in men is rare but not unheard of... so it's kind of cool to have one right here on the same waterball team as me....

I have heard a lot about eating habits from the fit older folks around here that I might start practicing at home. It is obviously working for them..... So why would you question the good thing. The good eating habits plus the spa waters.....I've stumbled onto the fountain of youth here!

There is only one waterball game over the whole weekend, so I guess I might have to do some sightseeing or shopping this weekend. DARN!

Once I get back to reality, I guess this blog will go back to its original purpose of providing info on my treatment etc. I have Herceptin on Thursday, and radiation measuring on Friday. Not sure when I actually start radiation but probably within a week or 10 days from the measuring appointment.

I am now looking forward to doing some crabbing when I get home because Butch bought a new boat for us to do it with! yee ha. And the dogs love crabbing too.....

I think that's about it! Until next time!
