Or is that fat, dumb and happy! I remember a customer using that expression once to describe the company I worked for (or maybe to describe me?). I told him that I could not help but agree with the fat and happy, but that I took exception to the dumb part! I would have to say I feel the same way in regards to the title of my post. I had a great deal of hearing loss from the chemotherapy drugs and now the hyperbaric is wreaking havoc with my eyesight. That leaves me deaf and blind, but still resenting the "dumb". I suppose however that it's meaning in this expression is more literal, and we all know that I am not dumb in that way at all!!! I suppose also that if I am honest, the more colloquial meaning may apply to some degree.
I'm just glad they warned me about the eyesight thing because it can be quite disconcerting when it gets bad. It comes and goes but at it's worst it's like looking through the wrong part of my glasses. They promise that it will completely return to normal after treatment, and they better be right!!
Just 8 more sessions to go. I am so damn grateful that I don't have a job to worry about or I would be stressed beyond belief.
I had a pretty rough night with my jaw but it responded nicely as the day wore on. So much so, that on top of my swim this morning I went out for a very quick little ride when i got home. One more swim tomorrow and then that's definitely it before race day.
I am looking forward to Sunday big time, even though based on my last 2 long runs I should be anything but optimistic. But really I don't care about any of that since the big attraction for me is running with Claudette. It has been so many years since we ran together and I intend on enjoying every moment of it, even if she ends up carrying me. I know I told you we were after 2:30 (5 min kms), but please forgive us if for some reason we don't make it. I think we will, but then again I'm the dumb one in this partnership! Whatever happens it will happen to both of us, and for me that is the only thing that matters. Wish us luck! Game on!
The other bonus to the day will be that grampa Kyle will be racing as well which god-willing will also allow us a little face time with his better half. I really hope so, cause I need someone to hold my bag. Love you Teresa!!!
Pre race day bonus is that you have to pick up your race kit on the friday or saturday prior to the race.... at Copps Coliseum....just a few blocks form Hamilton General Hospital. Serendipity my friends!
