You guys will remember good buddy Chris C., an RX3 and RX4 rider and a loyal blog reader. I was shocked when I received this email from him a day or two ago:
Hi Joe.
Just wanted to drop you a quick note about my recent time in the hospital.
Doctors found a benign tumor in my head and I underwent successful surgery to have it removed.
Exactly 1 week after surgery I was riding a bicycle, and 2 weeks after surgery I was riding my RX4. Don’t tell my doctor. The first thing I did after surgery was catch up on reading ExhaustNotes blog.
You know, after brain surgery I seem to have found deeper meaning in Gresh’s blog posts.
Feel free to use any of this and the attached photo in the ExhaustNotes blog.
Chris
Wow, Chris, I am so glad you got through this okay. You have our best wishes for a continuing successful and speedy recovery, and thanks so much for writing to us.
Wow !! I see a new promotion opportunity here : Exhaust Notes – Eradicating brain tumors since 2019. But seriously, glad to hear of the positive outcome. And riding 2 weeks later is fantastic. Strike a blow for the good guys. And maybe Chris can come on the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Ride next year. If you have never been its a benefit ride for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and is one of the best rides of the year. I had to miss a few due to work commitments but went this year and it was great and you will see many more success stories that’ll make you feel good.
I’d say get well soon but you’re already riding!
