2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side... Started conversation Aug 10, 2017
a bit over two years ago... just finished radiotherapy after chemo... - about exactly two years ago, I'd just started in on the testosterone injections, and all the fun and games of endocrinology none of which has gotten any better since three years ago... I think* I'd have been in Sweden about now, in Umea back when I still produced my own testosterone and had my own, 'normal' sexual function and labido and now... I'm soon off to the gym... Its kinda hard trying to piece together which of the 'me's' is ' anymore I'm certainly not who I was in so many respects but I think I've improved in many respects from where I was at the beginning of this year, even if the main thing causing problems, is still causing problems, namely endocrinology and their strange modus opperandi its err, two years and *counts* 8 months since I was DX with the hypothyroid, and they're still ing me about, and not got me medicated for it and kkeep acting so slowely.... - so, they've finally decided I can try liquid levothyroxin. and. they've done nothing to do that. - all they need to do is get my GP to script i it, and decide on a dosage... but apprently thats too much effort, and, assides, the worse thing that can happen, not being medicated, is only multiple organ failure, so I guess its not important.
off to tghe gym soon....

there is no end of days.... - I'm imortal now, remember though with my hip or top of my femur palaying up at the moment, I don't feel overly imortal ATM - still did the gym though I mean, it was agony of course, but I still did it - was kidna hoping the exercise might ease the leg a bit actually hopefully its just a strained tendon or muscle or soemthing and not avascular necrosis of the pelvis or femural head (another loverly side effect of the steroids and osteoporosis to look forward to eventually...)
May need some tranqualisers tonight, so I can sleep, I only got two hours again last night, and I just made an attempt to sleep, which didn't work thanks to the internal tremmors/heart palpiations and so much noise going off outside
Seems like we found a really good time to go to the gym; me and W were the only people using any equipment at all in the weight room, no one else in it, at all, and when we went then to the cardio room, there was just one other person in there
back to th egym tomorrow morning, 10.30 to meet a new personal trainer

Time is a constant. It's always here. And it doesn't go away. In fact we receive more and more of it every moment

went to the gym met the new personal trainer did some new stuff... including abdominal crunches.... I like abdominal crunches, beacuse, I don't liek them.... - I find the more I don't like the exercise, generally means its an exercise I like more.... like the inclined bench press, or the dips, I didn't like them.... so I liked them... now I can own them ouch! exercise bike, lat pull downs, bench pressing, lots of squats with the 20 KG bar (using 35 KG on the lat pulldowns) and bicep curls, of course, because... now waiting for GH nurse to arrive at house to train me up on the new injection pens

Endocrine/GH nurse turned up, to train me on the pens.... and gasped when she saw me - so I've lost some* weight... about 40 Lb, and I've changed shape a bit... OK, so I'm inchs bigger across the chest, and inchs bigger diameter biceps and tops of my arms, and forearms, and have definition to al the muscles, but... I guess I'd not realised what such a differnce it is... and, I guess 8 inchs smaller on the waist is a fair differnce too so we did the training on the new injection pens, which are dead simple to use, and got given a new really neat little device, for when travelling; basically you put the needle (once removed from the pen), into it, at the side, then it 'snips' off the actual sharp needle bit of the needle, and stores that inside a sealed compartment; leaving just a blunt end to the needle, left on th epen, so the pen can just go into the bin; apparently the snipping device holds thousands of needle 'tips' so can be used when travelling to save having to take a 'travel sharps bin' I never even knew such a thing existed
Then made a dash up the road, to the bank, and a shop, to get cash for the next week, plus pick up a few grocerys... Think it may be time for a nap now though, before dinner... lunch was half a tin of tuna, coleslaw and some lettuce and cucumber, in a wholemeal wrap may venture out to the pub tonight, not sure yet, depends on what the weather is doing and how we're feeling after the nap, dinner, and showering etc

did indeed ventur eout to the pub last night... and just about to do so again now - went for a long walk today, out of the city and to the nearest bit of 'quiet' and countryside tye area; a lot of the walk is out by a huge disused chalk pit, which is now a lake Have just showered, and weighed myself - I've gone up 1 Lb! I doubt I'll be losing much weight hereon in; I'm getting inches bigger across the chest, shoulders, and arms etc <blush. and muscle weighs a fair bit I guess... well, perhaps I can lose more 'fat' weight, but I think in reality any loss in taht now, will be converted to increases in muscle mass and thereby increasing weight - Must start using the tape measure more, to do waist hip etc, measurements, plus chest and underbust, as that might be a more reliable indication of changes happening
Thnk I'll go get my socks and shoes out, and get ready to go for an evening walk, to the pub - that'll be another 25 - 30 minutes, walking, on top of the 70 minutes or so walking earlier today and then tomorrow we're in at athe gym; think Ill try to start getting in more cardio rahter than just heading straight for the weights, just to balance things a bit more
