PLEASE put me on my bike soon!

[KkAllez]

Ok, this is a pitiful cry for inspiration. Tomorrow I have surgery. The good news is that it isn't cancer (I've suffered through numerous tests since my yearly cancer check-up in May). The bad news is that I've felt so bad that I've not been on my bike since June 20, and OH that seems so long ago.

What is causing all the problem? My gallbladder. Tomorrow me and my gallbladder will part. It wouldn't be so bad except I saw what my son went through to have his out due to a benign tumor, my dad, too (it is hereditary) AND I got to see two gallbladder surgeries during my nursing clinicals and believe me this is NOT minor surgery.

To make me feel better Ben bought me a new pair of cycling road shoes.

Anyways, girlfriends, this is not major surgery either, however, it has kept me off the bike and I hope, hope, hope that a) the hospital carries OLN network and b) I am back on my bike soon!

P.S. Ben has booked us a week at an au naturel resort in Mexico for August 1, WHAT WAS HE THINKING!

That he loves you and loves to look at you, maybe? heehee

You're right, it isn't minor. We'll be sending you positive thoughts tomorrow and we'll be here to hear all your hospital and recovery stories when you get out. <hugs>

In the meantime, remember that healing takes time, getting back to where you were cycling-wise takes time, but your muscles remember remarkably well. Once your recovery gets into full swing (which will seem like forever....), you'll see your improvement daily and we'll all be here to chear you on!!

Namaste,
~T~

Won't it be good to get it over with - but why couldn't it have happened in the dead of winter?!? Just shut your eyes and think of "le tour"!!!

Just thinking of you.

Good luck!

Here is to a speedy recovery and for you to get back on your bike before you know it.

If your surgery is laproscopy, you could be back on the bike fairly quickly. If they're doing the big incision, it might be a few weeks. My husband had the big cut, and was back to work in a week. The bad news is, you'll be laid up for a bit. The good news is, you'll feel alot better once that gb is out. And you'll be able to eat pretty much whatever you want without suffering afterwards! Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
