Met with my medical oncologist yesterday and asked him if it is possible to get all my strength back. He said he could not think of a reason why it would not be possible. He also said my thyroid is the latest victim of radiation therapy. It will take the new medication 4 to 6 weeks to correct the muscle weakness and other complications of hypothyroidism. I’m looking forward to seeing how much of a difference there is.

Definitely noticing changes in my physic. I have a picture with my grandson from March. I look like a pathetic feeble old man. I have to admit I don’t look quite so pathetic anymore.

If you mean March of this year, then that’s just a few months. Be patient. I’ve found that it can take 10 or 20 years to see any improvements at all.

@shaneinga posted a picture of a couple of nice bucks on his driveway. My driveway cam caught this one. It is relevant to training because he is a future protein source.
