Catching Up
My doc let me get out of wearing my shoulder immobilizer rig. My physical therapy is going well. I still have a lot of pain and discomfort but I don’t have to take any narcotic pain suppressors. I still tire easily. I am trying to be more active each day.-
Yesterday, I got the Cannondale recumbent bicycle out tof the shed and made it road worthy. That bit of effort tired me out but I really wanted to go for a ride. I filled two stainless steel water bottles and headed out. At about the two mile mark there is a steep and long hill. I stopped to get a drink of water. I must have drank too fast as I started to hurl. I turned around and went the two miles back home where I did it again.
I cleaned up and relaxed for a bit and then I got mad. I got back on the bike and I had a wonderful 22 mile ride through the forest. There was much huffing and puffing up the hills but it felt wonderful. I did 26 miles for the day. Dang, that felt good.
This is a picture of the Cannondale recumbent on a trip around Horshoe Lake in Arkansas.
