Mum is recovering well from her op. No other tumours were found in the area removed - what a relief! More from the oncologist on Thursday to discuss the next step, which will probably be radiation therapy and then another full scan in a couple of months.
On the training front headed out on a new route yesterday. Put together a route using the map to extend an old favourite in a bid to put in a "longer" ride. Well, what a bizzare experience that was. Headed into Lanarkshire which really felt like the back of beyond. The countryside was beautiful in a wild rugged sense but was marred by fly-tipping (and seriously rough roads in places). On my travels a saw a double mattress, sofa, fridge and many many tyres all lying in the ditches. On top of that I had a mad farm dog going for my wheels, happened on a prison in the middle of the countryside and this was all before I got to Shotts.
Now Shotts was the most bizzare experience. I got really lost as I think most of the road signs had been stolen. I didn't really want to stop and check the map as didn't feel 100% safe. When I did find the road out of town , there was an ambulance, paramedics, police and a bunch of nosy neighbours (watching from a safe distance) at a not so nice looking house. Needless to say I wasn't stopping there for a spot of lunch in the sun!
All in all managed 3+ hours training. Topped that off with another 1.5 hours today and feel surprisingly good. Now the roast is on, cider is chilling the fridge and Mark is making rhubarb crumble.
