Hello all. It has sure been a while since I last logged on here, though not from a lack of interest.
I was treated for lymphoma a few years ago, and everything seemed to be back to normal, but then I started having the worst chest pain. I initially wrote it off as acid reflux, which has always been a problem for me, so I tried to ignore it. I then started having trouble breathing and the pain started radiating to my shoulder and back, so I thought I was having a heart attack.
Back to the doctor I go, and of course my heart is fine, but they find a 7cm solitary spiculated nodule in my lung, as well as spinal metastasis.
To make a long story short, after many rounds of treatment and quite a few surgeries, I am (somehow) still here.
With that said, everything in my life feels as if it has sped up while I have just slowed down, so keeping up with everything remains a challenge.
I am also coming to terms with the reality that, unless I start feeling much better, my window of opportunity to hunt Africa and get my Kudu has probably closed. Therefore, I will be checking in here when I can to live vicariously through you all.
Before anyone starts feeling bad for me, I am doing just fine, my wife thinks I am even more insufferable now than before, and I have no plans to retire (or expire) anytime soon. I am still traveling for work, for crying out loud!
Anyway, that was my long way of saying that it is always a pleasure to check back in with you gentleman, and to remind you to take every opportunity to hunt that you can!
