I did think of one possible benefit to being out of classes this semester is I might be able to complete my 80-hr recert for my police qualification w/Dusty. He's a retired Fairbanks PD Lieutenant who is the director of the Academy. I wish I could have worked with him on the street, he's a great instructor, an awesome friend, and incredible all-around guy: police officer, family man, mentor, coach, relay crew, etc. One of those who you'd hope to be like in the middle to end of your career and always.
Getting all of my medical files together to make copies for my Seattle doc. Still bugging with the insurance from my wreck in October. OH, you know the DA DROPPED THE CHARGES against the girl who 1) ran the red light causing damage and injuries to two other vehicles and drivers, 2) blew o.o4 BrAC, 3) was driving a friends' car. I also got a letter from them showing the policy holder as a woman and her son as the 'driver'. Um, NO!! Try a 20-yr old female who got arrested. So, I'm going after them for insurance fraud or whatever I can make out of it.
Day #3 of my workout sessions. Holy horse hammocks!!! I'm getting whipped!! My legs are definitely feeling it; but not much on my lungs yet. My next pool day should change that. : ) This was a LONG time coming but to be working out 6 days a week with cardio everyday and 2 pool days, wow. I'm excited to see how I am before surgery. The goal is 30 pounds before then, but I'll take whatever happens because this is only the beginning. When I got married and before I got my State job, I weighed around 260; my goal is to be a solid 240 and pass the Army Physical Fitness Test so I can re-up. That's is an unfinished chapter of my book and I'm going to see it through. I made my goal of retiring from the Army or National Guard as no less than SFC (Sergeant First Class) and as a Drill SGT, but I think I'll have to settle for SFC.
So, my future - as I see it - will include my return to the Army National Guard in some capacity and the North Pole Fire Dept as a volunteer firefighter/EMT and new steps either into a police agency or in some other law enforcement type position as an investigator doing what I do best: investigate. I would love to hit the street, but with so much work on my face, I have to wonder how many street fights I could get into without any issues. Oh, that's right, I'll also be taking classes with Master Scott to help facilitate/improve my defenses.
I think I'm coming out of my cave... feeling inspired to take this head-on and not pout... or eat any more ice cream.
There's still a lot of fire trucks and police stuff to try to sell. I have to work on the pictures and descriptions of everything and get it on eBay. Some money is better than no money.
So, two biopsies came back positive and one more is going to be done next week; I'm assuming it will be the same as the first two. The crappy part about this cancer is that you just don't know anything really until the docs are in there. That's why I'm asking guys at work for swaps and that I 'repay' the swaps before I go, there's no way of knowing when I'll be back to work... if I'll be back. Not worrying, just life.
Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on, WHOA, laaa, la, la, la life goes on.... and so it goes.
