So…emergency red button was pushed Thursday night. Instead of news of pregnancy, my gf/now-fiancee got news of cancer. Devestation and fear ensue. Get prognosis and way-forward Friday. Both are promising. Surgery should take place within the next couple of weeks. From there, baby-making.

Congrats RB!
Well at least her prognosis is promising. Hopefully all goes well for her.
Good luck in the baby making. 
Hally- I’m right there with you. Well, not right [i] there [/] there, but emotionally drained and not feeling very motivated.
Are you working with a coach still??
Got a box of figs, FIGS are awesome!

Sorry to hear this, glad she has you there for her.
Rod!!! I’m glad you are back, and I’ll be thinking of you, bud. I hope everything goes well. Modern medicine is incredible. I have high hopes for her recovery 
oops, italicize fail.
RB- GREAT GREAT AWESOME news that it sounds like it’s treatable!!!

How far and how heavy?
Thanks all for the thoughts and words. Although, admittedly, I had my own lil “moment” where if witnessed, some young punk could’ve tried to take my Man Card. It would have ended badly for him, of course.

Who voted on having this thing called Monday?
Wiggles New guy? where you doing comp or just workout?
GRUMBLE!
Rod glad the prognosis is good man.
Derek, it was at Tennessee’s Strongest Man this past weekend. Don’t post much except in my log, so yeah, I guess you could say new guy, haha.
And Rod, just saw your posts. Glad to hear the prognosis is good.
Thanks again, Hal and (ahem) “Wiggles.” Feels wrong calling another man “Wiggles.”
I voted for Mondays. Gotta start somewhere.

True, I worked nights and weekends for 14 years so Friday night used to be my Monday and that is just sad.
