Munster Minor Final:

Cork 3-11 Kerry 0-9.

Cork v Derry and Tyrone v Kerry in AI quarter finals on 11 June.

What's Kerry's record winning margin?

19 points up with nearly 20 left.

Record winning margin is 36 v Clare in the "Miltown Massacre" of 1979 on a score of 9-21 to 1-9.  Took Clare only 13 years from then to win a Munster title in 1992, so back Limerick for 2035.

No David Clifford in Kerry team for Munster Final...injury concern it seems, so safer not to risk him is the line being fed - not even listed in the subs.

PM sent to Mod5 for changes

Mid-May update as promised.  Don't post as much anymore, but read the board most days - don't think I've forgotten about my friends here.

Glad to report that improvement is continuing.  Might be slower than the medics like, but if I'm in great shape a year after the final surgery rather than 6 months after it - who cares once the year is up?  Certainly it will make no difference to me.

Last report had me in the bathroom at night about once every 9 or 10 nights.  Right now, I'm on a streak of 22 consecutive nights with no interruption.  Delighted with that, obviously.  I finally got to the proper diet that wasn't causing problems - a low roughage/fiber diet. 

Now is the time to start adding some roughage/fiber, which I will do slowly.  A small bowl of cereal for breakfast instead of scrambled eggs for a start.  Adding too much too soon will cause problems, so I'll take it slowly.  Adding a little more every week or 10 days is the plan, as well as cutting back as necessary if things go wrong, is what I see for the next few months. 

I'll have another colonoscopy and a full-body CT scan by late August and I'm hoping for continued good news then.

I'm tapering off some of the neuropathy drugs, plus some others as well.  A twelve-week stint to get done with them will pass quickly with no withdrawal effects, I hope.  Glucose levels spiked a little higher, but I've not been exercising much since the last surgery in November, so getting the walking shoes out again should help.  Learning how to stretch properly (without overdoing it) is also important.  Weight is just a bit above where I want to be, but very close to target all the same.

Oddly enough, I've lost all interest in having wine, cider or beer.  Plenty of it in the house, but I've no desire to have any.  I'm quite happy with a glass of water as herself has a glass of wine watching TV at night.  I wouldn't even have a taste at this stage. 

Thanks again for the continued good wishes - I feel them every day.  I'll post again in August, after the next round of tests. 


Until then, everyone take care of yourselves and those around you and have a great summer.
