Call it some super-human strength, but all I know is that if I had the "un-earned" health issues that you have, and faced the shit you face, I would not be able to face it with the same success as you. I don't even know a small fraction of what you have to deal with, but I know enough to know that you have the ability to crush/kill/destroy everything with a huge smile on your face. (Or rather, a small smirk while holding two bottles of whiskey.)<br /><br />I don't know how you do it, but it's pretty goddamned inspirational.Casey Rybackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004336110624800873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029918604657636154.post-8226814747977184232009-12-20T22:25:11.848-08:002009-12-20T22:25:11.848-08:00I have no doubt that you will be kicking my ass as...I have no doubt that you will be kicking my ass as of Feb 7th. You are strong mentally and definitely physically and have tons of people to help/support you. You're part of an awesome team but more importantly an awesome community.<br /><br />I love it, you wash your muddy cross bike while it's still on the car, leaving the car covered in mud.

muchas gracias.....shit, you guys are way to nice. <br /><br />muchas gracias....seriously. <br /><br />I emailed my doctor this past week...soon after that post, cus I was feeling so shitty about the situation and I haven't heard back yet, but there's still a small chance that there is a better option to the radiation treatment. We'll see, but my whole problem is that goddamn radiation treatment and the bad shit it does to me and my gametes.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238472749152909530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029918604657636154.post-24772182148804397242009-12-17T16:41:06.261-08:002009-12-17T16:41:06.261-08:00Hey Dan, not to get all "deep" and stuff...Hey Dan, not to get all "deep" and stuff, but the fact that you accomplish amazing feats of athleticism whilst being a pretty damn cool guy AND suffering from a really shitty disease is why we all think you're so awesome.<br /><br />I can sympathize a little bit with your meds issue; if I forget to take my Dilantin there's usually a pretty good chance I'll wake up in a pool of my own piss and blood with no idea what my name is or where I'm at.<br />Hell, I even got arrested once for wandering into a giant water fountain at a hotel in STL. I literally "woke up" in handcuffs with some cop screaming in my face wanting to know my name. Too bad I didn't know my fucking name, so I got thrown in th back of the squad car.It was pretty bad, but I hate to think what would've happened if the cops hadn't picked me up.<br /><br />We have what I like to call "un-earned diseases".I guess my point is that even though it's a shitty situation you're obviously making the best of it. Greatness has a way of following you around, so just try to carry that badass-ness with you wherever you go and nothing can ever stop you.<br /><br />We all learn from watching the Professor.~Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946688773189885354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029918604657636154.post-38010916921633013062009-12-15T13:15:16.488-08:002009-12-15T13:15:16.488-08:00Yo Prof - Don't sweat the stuff you can't ...Yo Prof - Don't sweat the stuff you can't control.

I know that lance dealt w/ this back in the day, his docs showed amazing foresight and used a diff. form of radiation that saved his lungs. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this on your blog.
