Bike Shopping- day 3- the freak out (long)

[mimitabby]

I'm glad you reminded me to baby it- I don't care what I do between now and then, but I'm going on that damn trip, come hell or high water. My ortho has said he'll give me a cortisone shot in my knee before the trip if I'm not better by then, but I think I will be....I've been progressively been improving. It's just last weekend I pushed too far with 3 days of riding in a row. Now I know not to do that

Unfortunately, I'm a very experiential learner.

lol. hey, how come you can cuss and I can't.. (whenever i try i get ****** )
I've tried chinese medicine before too. It's always scary to try new / different things.

Well, let me know if you need me to swear for you, Mimi, and I'll represent.

Chinese medicine doesn't scare me at all- none of it has ever hurt me. Now for Western medicine, I wish I could say the same. Having had surgery six times (once having a laser drill into the bones in my ear when I was awake), I am definitely much more afraid of the guys with the pills and drills (although I appreciate what they've done for me, painful though it's been).
