Any time you want to vent we are hear to listen CC!

I definitely know what you are going through. When I had my foot surgery in December of 2005 my doctor did not know the kind of patient he was getting. A very impatient one! Every time I had a doctor visit I would complain and ask, "Okay doc, when do you think I will be able to start riding my bike again?" My husband was even embarrassed by my constant pestering. His answer (the doctor's) would always be the same. But I must have thought, "If I keep asking he will surly move the date up." Finally, about 6 months after the surgery, he said I could begin physical therapy. He removed the cast from my foot and signed me up for my PT sessions. Anyway, in my mind that meant I could ride again! Man was I wrong. I badgered hubby to go on a short flat ride on a local trail. HA! When I tried to put my bike shoe on my foot, my foot that was still swollen from the surgery, it barely fit. But I pushed it in there! Oh yes I did. Then I tried to clip in! Talk about pain! But I was so determined to ride my bike that day. Well I got my throbbing foot into my shoe, then I pushed it until it clipped into the pedal, with sweat running down my face (believe me sweat not from exercise) I maybe rode one block before I told Joe I had to go back. Now you see how stubborn and determined I am. And as my hubby said bullheaded. He said he has learned not to argue with me because it's useless. I have to find out the hard way. Yep that's me. It was almost a year before I could ride again. It was the year from you know where for me! I am so glad it's behind me and soon it will be behind you too CC!

So, hang in there CC because sooner than you know you will be on your bike again having that adrenalin rush. It's to die for! So I do know how you are feeling and believe me I truly do feel for you and I will celebrate with you when you are well again and on your bike!

So here is to that day! I will be ready to ride with you though we are thousands of miles apart. I will be with you in "spirit" on that day. Just let me know when!
