The day I got some teeth pulled, port and peg placed I had planned on the Hotter Than Hell Hundred. I spent 5 months training. Something said get back at it. Since I saw religious statements throughout your blog I can tell you it was a God thing. They told me if I wasn't in such great shape they wouldn't be as aggressive with treatment. I think maybe they gave me a bit too much radiation but they did kill the cancer. They said they would either cure me or kill me. I'm thinking I ended up with a twofer. laugh

We had a member years ago that met another member for lunch on a business trip and they were doing what they called "the butt dance" as the jolts were traveling down the spine and leg. It was hilarious to hear her talk about it.
