I'm hoping to make the Memorial Day ride. I'm really babying my arm right now - not using it for anything! My backup person at work is doing all the heavy work, so I essentially sit at my desk and read email and the TE boards! I can't grip or lift anything with my left hand (as in lifting a water bottle or carton of milk). Friends at work keep scolding me for not wearing a sling.

600 mg of vitamin I with every meal and at bedtime seems to be helping bunches. I hate the bandy thing I wear around my forearm, near the elbow, but I guess it helps. I may wear it on my first ride, for the support. (ooh, what an attractive tan line that'll leave....)
