CC, what song would you sing (that you are not supposed to) while looking at other cyclists, with sad puppy dog eyes? Tokie

[crazycanuck]

I'd probably sing "Princes of the Universe"/" Spread your wings"/ " Ramble On"/ Kids Wanna Rock...

Thanks - I'll look into those songs for emergency backup singing songs! Tokie

Ouch! I only just now found this thread and learned what it was that has you typing one-handed. Scary! My ds is a boulderer. I see these spiderman pictures of him hanging from the ceiling of a cave and wonder how he stays up there. Now I know boulderers don't always stay up. I shudder to think

And then that wood-chopping accident as well with the firewood that jumped up and attacked your eye (must have been the other way around, right? wood-chopping before dislocation? or do you chop wood one-handed?) Anyway -- double ouch! Would a coffee break next time I'm in Oslo help distract you from the pain? I'll be there for two meetings Jan 28. One in Wergelandsveien and one up in Nydalen.

hi duck! yep, woodchopping was in "romjula", the remains of the bruise just nicely accents the cast

i'm in no pain, thankfully, just mighty annoyed at the cast. drop me a note and we can see if we can meet up!

woohoo again!

my one week check-up. supposed to have cast another week. the dr looked like a outdoors type - 50s, lean, short hair, slight tan - so I started telling how much of a pita the cast is when training (stat. bike + weights 1 hr a day), and all that sweat prob isn't doing it any good, and isn't it kind of crumbling up, and would there be any chance of taking it off early and putting something more flexible on, plus seriously big puppy-dog eyes...

and hey presto he asked the grumpy cast techy to make me a glassfiber cast cut open that i can take on and off at will could have HUGGED him.

but jeez - after 6 days in a cast my arm looked like a big yellow squash and i had mybe 45 deg range of movement some is prob. residual swelling inside the joint, rest is shortened tendons i guess. gentle stretching many times a day now.

just posting this in case someone else gets the same thing sometime, figured it might be handy to know. still no pain for which i am massively grateful.

oh, and was at a big 60th birthday party for mil last night, and had gallant gentlemen in their 60s practically tripping over themselves to help me do stuff wonderful, very chivalrous. gotta enjoy the perks!
