Cold Morning In Tokyo

Boy it almost...... ALMOST got down to freezing today in Tokyo :)
I've started my second round of Interferon Beta injections as treatment for my skin cancer, one shot a day for ten days in a row, well actually eleven days, as the outpatient part of the hospital in closed on Sunday. Once this is done, I have one more round in March and I can close that chapter of my life!!

The shot hurt like all get out today, but at least I've not had any reaction to it, no fever, and I feel OK.

I've been getting cramps in the upper rear part of my thigh muscles lately, dunno why, just working them harder I guess. I used to get really bad cramps in my calves, still do very occasionally, but I've never had one in my hamstrings, I'll have to look into that. Been eating at least one banana a day, which usually helps with my cramps, but not on this one....?

Lovely sunny weather here, cool, but not cold!

Cheers!

A Tokyo Loop Ride I do

This is a loop of about 20Km that I do inside Tokyo when I can, I did it today, good ride. No big hills and while there is lots of traffic (it IS Tokyo) the roads are all main ones, so they have wide lanes.





Just Checking In

I've been busy, we had a major renovation done to the Liquor shop, which was and still is a big job, lots of changes in the old shop :)

My back has healed, no more sticky, itchy bandages!! My next course of Interferon Beta shots shart January 31st and go for ten days straight, well eleven, because I have no shot on Sunday. After that, one more course and I'm done, then I can put all this cancer crap behind me, I hope for good.

Cheers!
