Time off for good behavior

Yay! I know it isn't total freedom but it's better than what it was. Your recovery time looks like it is FAR less than they estimated

Now were you honest about the 40 lbs?!

Enjoy your ride

Enjoy your ride

The ride this evening was great. I took my recumbent out (had talked to my dad about selling it this morning given it was built by ex-BF but he advised me to hang on to for the time being). It was a short ride, 10 minutes, but it felt great to be on a bike. I told my dad it was like riding your favorite ride at the county fair, never last long enough but always brings a smile to your face.

The doctor is holding to her three week recovery period. She says internally I'm healed but she is worried about the incision for it has not completely healed as of today. She is concerned that if I start riding long rides the constant pedaling motion will irritate the wound. I'm going to start applying Vit. E oil to it this evening to speed up the healing process. I swear once it is healed I'm out of here!

I really did carry in the 40lb bag of dog food on Saturday. I knew I should not but was such an emotional mess due to the bomb ex-BF dropped in my living room just hours earlier that I could not bring myself to ask anyone for help. I told my doctor what I had done and she did not say a thing so I guess I did not do any harm. I did not carry in the bag I purchased yesterday instead I had my dad tote it in for me. I think life is pretty much back to normal - I just have to take things slow and easy and see what I can do and what I can't.

Physically I feel great. I'm working hard to heal emotionally and mentally as well. Today was a good day and I have to stay focused on that. I can't worry about tomorrow until it arrives and then I will handle it the best I can. I know there are still some bad days ahead of me but I also know there are some great things waiting for me and that is what I have to focus on at the moment.

Time to go for my evening walk!

Yea!! You can ride again, that is great. I know it will be hard to hold yourself back, but in time you will be "free" to ride for as long as you want. You are that much closer to your freedom. Hang in there

I'm simply looking forward to riding again tomorrow. Two miles is a gift and I'm going to enjoy every minute as I fly around my subdivision. I also know that two miles will increase soon and my life will be back on track.

Marcie, glad you're healing....so sorry I didn't see the prior post about ex-bf...is this the guy we met at the Horsey???

In any event, I think he's a fool...and his timing was certainly selfish and self-centered. You're a great woman with lots to offer and we look forward to our next ride with you (even if we can't keep up!)

Thanks, Mr. S. I'm feeling better with each passing day. I'm getting ready to head out the door for my first 2 mile spin of the day to be followed by a 3 mile walk.

It is indeed the guy I introduced you and Silver to at the HH. He evidently had been comtemplating this for several months and finally worked his "courage" up to end our three year relationship. As I've told others, I don't know that there is a good time to make such an announcement and I guess if it had to end it had to end. I'm moving forward and working on getting myself together and well.

If you guys come down for the Old Kentucky Home Tour let me know for I'd love to see you guys and ride with you.

I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your ride! Was the weather nice? Keep on getting better!!
