I haven't had much to report lately. I haven't been feeling all that good, just too tired. I didn't even make it to the gym on Tuesday like I had hoped. Well, I probably would have gone a little later, but I had a training I had to get to at work so I couldn't afford to be late. Anyway, my plan is to go work out in the morning, bright and early. I still have the training going on, all this week actually, but if I can get my ass out of bed, I'll go lift heavy objects. The training is really screwing up my schedule though, cutting my workout short.

You people that can drink sodas or coffee to wake up in the mornings have no idea how easy you have it. Try getting up a 5:00am, without your coffee, after a crappy night's sleep.

My stomach has just been blah lately too. Probably just from the lack of sleep and stress, but that's not helping any.

Anyway, the important stuff. I was hoping to schedule the surgery for the 11th of December, but that date is unavailable. So now it's either the 4th or the 19th, or I have to wait until January. From everything I've read, the longer I wait, the more I risk the cancer metastatizing, and the poorer my prognosis becomes, so speed is of the essence. The 4th means I'll be feeling a bit better by Xmas, but less money saved up and it just feels rushed. The 19th means I'm likely still in the hospital on Xmas but an extra paycheck to help see me through the 8 weeks recovery time. Waiting until January feels kinda like playing russian roulette. Probably the 19th.

That's all I know for now. I gotta try and get some sleep so I can get to the gym tomorrow.
