I have a bad history with health care and discrimination...and I am slowly dying. It is what it is. I will die young compared to most of you. But I wasn't receiving health care anyway so I just gave up. But...I don't let my poor health get me down. I enjoy life to the fullest. I have been in a coma and almost dead. I realized spending my last days fighting with docs to do their dang job is not how I want to spend it. I have skin cancer, I am pretty sure...I am guessing another couple years at most is all I got. I am nearly 6 foot tall and am down to 110lbs. "We don't treat eating disorders", I am told. Never even had a biopsy done. Nothing. Sent to therapy or a psych instead each time. Offered MAID. But no actual health care over all these years. Nothing. Canadian health care has been weaponized to attack the poor "non tax payers". My ebike keeps me mobile and busy. Without it I'd be in an even rougher spot.
Praying for you my Friend! 🙏 AND telling you that ebiking is great for your mental health....but don't give up on your physical health....go to other doctors!
Riding helps clear my mind and keeps me moving. Winter makes it hard for sure. We had a heat wave and made it up to 40 degrees today. Still too cold to ride.
@@LetsGoJensWay ....Yes..winter makes it much harder....even 10 mph adds wind chill......poor you and poor puppies. Puppies want to move South. :) Have a Merry Christmas! Thank you for Watching!!
Bruce positive vibes coming your way. I come here not just for bikes I enjoy your commentary and your stories. I enjoy them. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers are with you friend. I’m up early because I am headed to a cancer treatment in about 30 minutes. I know exactly what you are going through, thus my prayers are with you. In my case, it was bladder cancer. I will probably, because we have had a lot of new subscribers, give my testimony as to what happened on that in the next week or two. By the time I am viewing this, I am in prayer that you have good news. If you are not aware by this time, I can tell you, PSA levels can go up very high,,, let’s just say from your relationship to those closest to you. Not quite sure how else to say that. But either way my sincere prayers are with you. And I can tell you by experience that works.
My Prayers are with you! Yes...I am a praying person too. I already ruled out many different things with the second test. :) I am praying for healing and the darn bike seats to be the cause!! Share your story...if one person benefits, you have done a Great thing!
Good video! Thanks for sharing. I'm over 40 , so I'm always appreciative-ly listening to guys talk about their medical conditions. We don't do that enough. Hope things go well.
Hi Bruce. Great topic. But I hope women will watch your video as well. Last year I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Because of the high rate of cancer in my family my doctor had me go to a genetic counselor. One of the results was that I am definitely a carrier for prostate cancer. Of course I wasn’t affected but my sons definitely are. ‘Til then I had no idea it could be passed from mother to son. What a surprise! At least now I know so I could advise my sons to inform their physicians. I didn’t watch the entire video before I commented. But just know you’re in my prayers.
🙏 Thank you for sharing and Prayers for you and your family! My Subscriber "base" has changed and almost 19% are women. Yes...I hope they watch...my mom passed away after a 19 year battle with Breast Cancer and a few years later, my dad from Cancer. If this helps 1 person.....success. Thank you for the support! 🙏
Prayers brother. I will keep you in our prayers and I have been busy. You know this is are clubs Christmas for the needy. We start tomorrow shopping for about 300 kids. Lot of shopping and wrapping this weekend. Love ya Brother!
Sorry to hear mate, A full month (...or more) of not riding, geez that's gunna be tough on you, anyway I wish you all the best my friend, and hopefully you will be just fine 🤞🤞🤞 🚲⚡👍
Had me panicking with the title "My LAST ride..I never thought this would happen..."😮😲😮 I don't know how we'll cope with no Brucey riding vids for this long, it'll be torture 😅 You'll be fine though mate, I just know it (..well, I sure hope so mate🤞). On a much different note, I gotta say I love the BMW on screen dashboard thingy that displays the speed and stuff, that's really cool and it looks great too!
@IMBruceECLECTIC and 40.7 mph is the top speed Winston Wulf has done so far... Only managed to do the one long run, traffic always usually gets in the way round here 😅
Sorry for your Loss. Cancer took my mom and dad when they were just a little older than I am now so I understand the loss. Thank you! I have Faith!! I appreciate the support!
I actually just bought one for my Thumbnail Creator to help me make better thumbs....but he has fallen down on the job again. I may buy Photoshop and practice doing my own. I have 2 videos created for the next 2 weeks....about my insurance on the Graffiti X and someone asked me to talk about the camera I use for videos. I may make some more in the garage depending on how I feel. I do have 5 crappy videos from the summer I may throw out. The second week of January regardless of the next test results....I will be riding and making a video...snow/ice/cold...it will not matter. :) Thank you for the support you have given in helping me in the Ebike World and with helping me grow my Channel!! I appreciate you!!!
@@maximumchargeEV Yeah, I was wondering the same Alex, hopefully plenty of rest, but I'm guessing knowing Bruce he will have something planned, or brewing up an idea maybe?.. for some footage for us all 👍
Thank you my Friend! I have cleaned-up my garage; moved all my batteries inside; killed several bottles of good Gin; looked at buying the Dirt Goat; looked at buying the Altis Sigma; looked at buying the Purple Javelin; and, today I have a Solar E-Clipse 2.0 in Lime Green in a "cart." ha ha ha AND I am still getting a Purple TOB from Dr. Chopper. OH and I looked at the Wired Predator; Escape Ebikes AWD (1,500W x2) Step-Through; and,........ Too much time on my hands now....

Appreciated! Ironically, I loaded up on cold weather riding gear a few days before I got the news......BUT I will be riding in January regardless of diagnosis!
Ha ha ha...thanks for the chuckle! My doctor already ruled that one out and he has little faith in the bike seats cause (he is an avid biker)....he told me both of those things normally only raise slightly.

Wish you well! It sucks you cant ride. Your spot on with riding helps mental health.
YES...100% ...finding ebiking last Fall changed me Life. Keep riding my Friend!!
Had to do an edit or two as my voice to text actually conveyed just the opposite as I wanted. It has been fixed now.
I am afraid to do that...my fat sausage fingers screw up enough for me. :)
