This Trucker Fights Back

I understand about the hunting, Randy. My dad hunts a lot. Only stuff he actually likes to eat though. He's not trigger-happy or anything. And he doesn't put pelts or antlers up on the walls or anything like that. That would just freak me the hell out.

I'm wishing I was in Cali too. Just for a vacation, not for an extended period of time. The west coast is no place for a Newfie. We're genetically programmed to only be able to survive a limited amount of time away from the Atlantic Ocean. I'm gambling with my life by being here in Ontario for 2 months. :p
 
sunny...my dad hunted too...deer mostly...and yes, we ate it...(although cali deer is not the same...they don't graze on green grass like they do back east...they eat scrub brush...yuck! )

I've had wild boar, deer, elk, and bear! I have to say that out of all the wild game I ate....bear carne asada had to be my fav!!!!

But rabbits? just can't even think about eating a rabbit...or a squirrel...for that matter....:rolleyes:

Hey kids, I'm taking a waiver on multi replies temporarily.

I had another carbuncle lanced yesterday, only this was a first-timer in reference to region. I had a fast mover developing in the right axillary that needed cut open.

Sparing details, I'm not at all happy in several different ways, obviously these things are painful and I'm out of the skipping and walking loop for a spell. The more obvious is a replay in my mind that this weight loss was 'suppose' to end these recurrences but I guess it's not etched in stone anywhere so I have to suck it up and just accept this is just the way it is for me.

I've been thrashing with career/school choices based on what to do based on these inflictions alone, I know realize that there is no need to equate that into my return to work/further education process. They're simply going to happen no matter where I end up. At this point about all I can do is hope for longer spans in between occurrences so I don't inconvenience or jeopardize any employer or disrupt my schooling.

Some days ya just throw your hands up - today is one of those days.

The only good news is I weighed at the hospital yesterday and I lost 3 lbs since last weigh in (about 2 weeks ago I think) which I'm not surprised. I have worked extremely hard at fixing my leaks. I know that approaching the 14 month mark now I see the long term dedication this is going to take, it really is a lifetime event. I've pushed the envelop, let my guard down, 'rewarded' myself socially, etc.. all to find out that these things can wreck even the best laid plans. I also know idle time is my worst enemy.

It does feel great to be back under 220 and a well-earned 220 at that. So for now I'll just work off of that and see what happens, as for loading up my plate with future dreams about work/school, it's just one day at a time. I'm really tired of fighting that right now. I'm tired of a lot of things actually.
 
Hey Trucker...just stopping by to say hello! I've been MIA since beginning of April for many reasons...but I'm back. Hope you're doing great!
 
Good news on the weight, Randy! Sorry to hear you are having other problems though...that sounds very painful...hope you will be feeling better right away, though!
 
Wow, Rands, that's a LOT to deal with--I'm so sorry! I didn't know about the previous operation. Well I certainly hope you're not in a great deal of pain, and you heal soon! Good luck, there!!!:)
 
Sorry to hear about the carbuncle!!! I know you are disappointed that they didn't just stop appearing after all your hard work to get your weight down.
However, as you know, you are reaping bennies in other areas because of the weight you have lost. Reading your post about "leaks" was a good warning for me...I go throught these times where I get too lax, thinking I can have a "bad"day, like I've earned it or something dumb like that. I won't keep the weight off if I think like that. I hope you feel better soon. Congratulations on the three pounds lost!!!
 
It's good to see you post.

This has been such an amazing thing you have done. The health issue is such a hard one in the circumstances.

The way you keep pursuing your goals and managing to achieve continues to inspire. :)
 
Hey Randy,
We haven't talked in a couple of days and I'm going to be MIA quite a bit until this weekend some time - but I will catch up with you soon.
