Happy New Year!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday week! We were very busy here as kids with kids came and, thankfully, went. December was a busy month with no real changes on the health front. My December 28th meeting with the doctors at PMH has been shifted to January 11th so no new news. Weight has plateaued, stuck, at 147 despite good input during the Christmas period.
Had a wonderful package of hand drawn cards from grade 1 students at a school in South Africa that Sandra and I are associated with wishing me a healthy recovery. There was also a complete bound book of drawings of love and concern from the kindergarten students… very thoughtful and very touching to say the least. My friend Peter Oliver is the force behind the construction of the schools through his charity the Leacock Foundation. An exceptional story…Google it if you’re interested.
Hard to believe just 12 months ago we were in the midst of final preparations for the 2010 Olympics. A lot has happen since then but fortunately it too feels like a distant memory. Eating more things but none too exciting as any spice that has any heat to it is bothersome. Had to try the odd sip of wine over the holidays…that beverage is a long way away if ever. Talked to a friend who is 9 years post treatment and spices still an issue. For him beer is more drinkable than wine but neither works for me. Surprisingly I don’t miss or regret that loss… but spicy chicken wings etc. that’s another matter!
Have a terrific 2011! Will update you all on February 1.
Warm Wishes,
Peter

The Best of the Season to all of You!!
Still kicking!
Hello all. Missed you these past 4 weeks but updates on miniscule improvements would have been boring. Over the course of a month however such improvements are more noticeable. Weight was 147 this morning and I am clearly in a lot better shape. Running or biking 30 minutes at least 5 days a week and doing resistance training at least 3 times a week.
Just back from presenting in Arizona, where I also managed to play a reasonable game of golf. It was my first flight in 7 months. We, those of us at PCI, have been very busy following up on all our projects that came out of the retreat. Had a big meeting on Friday and there were 15 reports on initiatives that are under way. Fantastic!!
In terms of my health the saliva is the biggest issue. Winter heating can add to the dryness. I would say, however, that it comes and goes through the day. I don’t know if that means I am producing some saliva at certain times or not. I have a meeting with the medical people at Princess Margret on December 28th so will let you know in my New Year’s blog on January 1.
Wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season.
Warm Regards,
Peter
