Well Vegas was fabulous...22 women ...shopping, dancing, gambling, wine...amounts of previous items not disclosed...and a lot of laughing. I returned to work last Tuesday and put in a few too many hours. The "full" life got the best of me and I developed an infection with fevers and visited my familiar Unit 57 on Monday morning to get examined, tested and assessed. The medications are working, I feel 5 times better than the past weekend, and I think by tomorrow I'll be back to normal. And while I know many of you are thinking "you have to watch it" (and I do), it is just too tempting to resist living fully. Every once and I while I get a little zap to remember not to overdo it. At least not to overdo it all the time!
I expect that by next Friday, I will feeling strong enought to ride a bike. A stationery bike in fact. I'm on a team from PwC that will ride stationery bikes outside by the Bow River downtown next Friday. The Ride for Diabetes Research raises funds for diabetes research, and with the number of my relatives affected by the disease, I'm more than happy to hop on a bike to help accelerate research developments. I am living proof of the impact medical research has.
If you interested in sponsoring me, you can check out my fundraising page - any $ donation is very much appreciated and I promise not to fall off the bike!

Cheers and live fully,

What? - no pictures of you looking fabulous in Vegas?! Is it because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? ; )
Hi Tricia,
Happy to hear that Las Vegas was "fabulous". Sorry to hear about your infection and I hope by now you are back to normal.
I'll be cheering for you as you ride your bike for Diabetes research. You go, Girl!
