My riding partner (aka my dad)

More good thoughts from a fellow texan - I know it's difficult to be waiting on news.

Thank you all so much. I just found out his test is on Tuesday. He still doesn't know that I know what it's for, exactly. He's being all nonchalant..."Oh, it's nothing. Just have to get a test done to get cleared for this arthroscopic surgery." Men. I just told them to call me when they go and let me know what they say.

So now it's the waiting game. Your understanding, prayers, and support are really appreciated.

He's being all nonchalant...

Oh I hate when they baby us as adults. My dad did that when he was sick with cancer, he still wanted to protect his baby girl. Hang in there, maybe it really is just to clear him for surgery and you are being too worried.

Thank you, everyone, for all of the positive vibes and prayers! The test was done today and we already have the results. The doctor said that they want to continue to watch it but that at this point they don't feel it's anything to be concerned over!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for him! So now he's going to get his knee surgery in the next week or so and be good to go ride Bike Tour Colorado again in June and then ragbrai in July. And we're going to be able to get more hours in together riding, too!! Double bonus!

Thank you, again!!!!

What excellent news! I'm relieved for both of you.
Happy day!

Yay! So glad to hear it!

Great news!! Does this mean spring in Fredericksburg is on hold? Looks like we aren't getting any rain and the flowers will be minimal anyway.

Just sifting through recent threads I had posted on because I seem to forget so easily.

Anyway, you have made me so happy reading your post today.

You two just make sure you have a lovely time together, it really makes a lovely story. Once again, I am sat here all bleary eyed! It would be great to see any pics of the pair of you together.

Gingerale: That is such wonderful news. I hope that he heals quickly from the arthroscopy, and you two have some wonderful rides together this summer. Treasure those moments! Wish I could have had more.

See.. now I'm smiling trying to picture my dad on a bike That is a good one!

Glad I could give you a good grin, Jes! LOL

Okay, I'm not crazy about this picture. But it's me, my dad, and my kids at the Mississippi River after finishing up RAGBRAI last summer in Iowa.

I don't know how I missed this. That's GREAT news!!!! I'm so happy for all of you! Now for the knee surgery... he'll do great. As active as he is- it'll be no problem for him to come back from that.
I love the picture of you both with the kids. I think it's a GREAT picture.

Thanks so much to you both!
