November 16 2008

It has been a quiet week here at Lake Cedar Creek. Waiting for surgery and trying to heal. The radiation and chemo have played havoc with my digestion tract so I take a variety of pills and solutions.
I took a flying lesson yesterday. We took off from the Downtown Airport in a light sports (not experimental) airplane. It has a bubble canopy and you sit out on the nose of it. The view was great. My instructor was 23 years old and graduated from K-State in their pilot training program. He let me take off and fly but decided he should land it. I am sure I could have landed it but I might have bent it in the process. I think it will take a few more lessons before he will allow me to land. I enjoyed it so I will pursue it for now in sas much as it is a welcome distaction for now. I don't know how far I will pursue it. The expenses of it clash with my cheapness but we will see.
We will leave here December 6 0r 7th and I am sceduled for surgery on the 11th, with luck I will be back the first week of January.
