I've been happily lurking and haven't had a chance to post.

Pumpkin pie...you guys can have all of it as i'm not a big fan. Why are you making pumpkin pie now? When's US thanksgiving??

Nanci, that's a beautiful snake you have there.

I think...I say I think..I think i ran over a small snake or something on my way home from work tonight..It didn't look like a twig and i swear it moved. I could just be on drugs HOWEVER as it's getting hotter (it was 31c today) whatever it was may have just been sunning itself..

I need help with my Oct SS gift. I have no idea which socks from TE or anywhere else really to get her. I know this person doésn't live near a bike shop and want to make the gift special. As it's heading into winter up yonder what socks are good? HELP..

I had a crappy bike ride home tonight..UGH..My legs just didn't want to mozy..

I like to wear wool socks in the winter. TE has a whole bunch of Smart Wool ones.
DeFeet also has some nice wool socks, all right here at TE.

I found some sockies for her...Gift wrapped too!!! Thanks TE.

I don't have any Smart Wool cycling socks, but I have a ton of hiking/running socks from SW, and they are NICE. Not too hot to wear in the summer, even.

Because pumpkins are ripe now. There won't be any fresh ones near Thanksgiving (late November). I better go buy another pumpkin and freeze the puree for Turkey Day.

Okay, I will confess, I do not care for pumpkin pie, but I would however love to visit and have a cup of coffee. BTW, the pie looks lovely.

If I missed anyone or a major event, I apologize.

BMO3, glad you survived the tests free of seizures and got it over with. If you visit me you'll have to bring your own coffee - I don't imbibe and if there's coffee in my house it's because a visitor left it unknown years ago (it would be in the freezer however). How do you manage to respond to 9 people in one post, and then feel compelled to appologize if you missed someone? You're amazing.

Nanci, Addy is such a cute little thing.

So, BMO3, if you didn't have seizures, does that mean you may be able to resume driving??

Thanks for asking Nanci. The short answer is no. Not having a seizure just means my medicine is working. I would have thought 14 years of not having a seizure would have been enough of a testament to my medicine working.
I was banned from driving because of my stroke and potential high risk of another one. The tests were to determine how much damage was done and if I have any clots. The potential of a seizure was just an added bonus.

I assume I shall be cleared to drive again. I am forever banned from driving with a migraine, which pretty much takes out 150 days, give or take, out of the year.

It looks as though I am on this new medicine for the long haul. I think my body is getting used to it. at least I am telling myself that, so I can get back on my bike. For now, I am content running, but my bike sure is lonely.

Jennifer,

I'm glad that the tests are behind you. What will it take for them to clear you to get back on the bike?

Thanks Lise! Getting off this medication would help, but I do not see that happening. I *think* I am getting used to the CCB, or I should say my body is. That is good news. If my BP can stay steady and I can manage not to get dizzy or faint, I will be good to go on a bike and in a pool-I miss swimming. I am hoping in a week or two-I am pushing for a week. On the upside I do not bike, run or swim alone, so there is that going for me.

I have my TNT meeting tonight and I am quite excited. It is about this time in my world that something bad usually happens.

I am just as happy with tea or water.

I love reading and I usually remember what I read, thankfully, but I do worry that I will leave out a major detail.
