    Very gentle (((hug))) from across the pond and healing vibes on their way to you.

    A few years ago I broke a bone in my hand (5th metacarpal). The hospital wanted to open my hand and pin the bone. I'm the biggest coward going and refused. They told me the bone would set all wrong and I'd have a deformed hand. Anyway, they stuck it in a cast. I put a haematite bracelet (you know one of these stretchy beaded ones) over the cast as haematite has healing properties to help broken bones mend. The hospital were amazed at how quickly the bone healed up and my hand is as straight as it's always been. One of my friends recently broke a bone too and she tried that and it helped.

    Hope you're back on your bike soon.

    Orthopedics is a slow process but you get there (or somewhere *near there*) in the end.
    Keep it up, BG!

    It was good seeing you at Cinderella. Glad you are mostly healed. June isn't too far off so keep up the spinning and you will be ready to take on the summer.

    xxoo

    Thanks!

    Trekhawk- I mistakenly said femur when I meant Humerus! Oh well, a leg, an arm just a little difference!

    It was nice to see everyone of you at Cinderella (that seems like ions ago) and the pre Cindy dinner.

    And it's so neat that Spazz is riding again.

    Yep spinning the days away.......and now the weather is getting to be our kinda riding

    Have fun those of you in SLO wildflower ride. Am looking forward to pictures. And the SR Wine Country- that's such a fun ride. Hopefully you will have fabulous weather.

    Next Tues-- May 1st- I"m sagging for our club- they are doing an interesting ride on Knoxville road starting and ending at Pope Valley. Something like 85 miles. MP and V- you've done some of this on the Knoxville double, right? I'll try to remember to get some pics for you all. Pretty time of year to be out that way.

    I'll keep an eye out for you all (in the forums, that is)

    She's even got a sense of "humer"!

    Nancy enjoy Knoxville Road. I think it is one CREEPY road and would never ride it without some sort of SAG or supprt - so they're lucky to have you. But part of my sense of its creepiness may be because Kville Double travels it during hunting season so there are all these trucks pulled over to the sides of the road with people off hunting. What, I don't know.

    Who me on painkillers?

    I stopped taking those the 2 days after surgery. Must be senior moment!

    MP- yes, I have driven Knoxville Rd right after the Amgen Tour came past Moskovitz corner as we were checking it out for a later ride (this one coming up). When we were on the road we saw exactly 3 cars in about an hour's time. It was pretty desolate. I wouldn't ride that road solo, that's for sure!

    Bee Doc? What bees are you studying these days????
