Hope all is well. At 55, I am still an avid weightlifter since I started around age 14 as I was an athlete into my 40s. I got hooked back then and it has helped me tremendously.

Now, I am getting 4 weeks out from my surgery where they took a chunk out of my left forearm up almost to my elbow to become part of my new tongue, I got the ok to slowly ease back into it as it has been driving me crazy to not lift weights at my gym. I haven't missed 4 weeks in a row since 2008 with my first cancer. Just there is a portion that is numb yet on the left forearm and its uncomfortable to turn my wrist inward, but I will figure out what I can and can't do once I am there.

I hope I can still lift weights in my 80s that is awesome as I will never stop unless my joints give out.

Best,

Rob
