    good grief!
    knife throwers and perverts! I too am sorry that humans are so beastly to each other.

    My husband is still very sick. Apparently they cut a Chyle duct which means all his triglicerides are getting dumped into his chest cavity. it is fixed with diet and surgery. This really stinks. it is breaking my heart to see him so miserable and frail. His friends are benadryl and oxycodone

    Mimi-

    I'm so sorry to hear this Continuing to send good and healing thoughts your way.

    Don't forget to care for yourself too - it sounds like you have a marathon to run here - not a sprint.

    Oh, Mimi. I'm so sorry to hear this. You guys have already been through so much. Is he already back in surgery?

    I'm redoubling my thoughts and prayers.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    I'm so sorry, Mimi! It sucks to see someone you love feeling low and fragile. He'll come through it and regain his energy, you know it. Hugs to both of you!

    Catrin, I hope your mom's surgery is successful and that she has a quick recovery.

    Mimi, Don is lucky to have you. Does he have any video from his own rides? Would showing him these videos help him feel better, remind him how strong he is? I hope he clears this hurdle and gets back on his bike soon.

    Blueberry...where are you again? Sheesh. Do you ride by yourself? How many times has this pervert exposed himself? Any cops on bikes around there?

    I just enjoyed a ride with MillieNZ around Lake Miramar - 14 miles. We're meeting again on Thursday to try and better our time. It's nice to have a riding buddy. My goal is to up my miles, better my speed, and drop another twenty pounds. The last time I was successful at losing weight, it was on this bike, around this lake, so here I go.

    this is no hurdle, it's more like a super marathon.
    no videos he can't watch tv even. too much effort. maybe later.

    I didn't even get to have my nice dinner with NbyNW because I have to stay at the hospital so much (and eat crappy food)

    The good news is that i am home right now doing laundry and cooking that chicken.
    and I (blush) learned how to pay the house payment.

    once again, thanks for all your support.

    Catrin ~ Sending healing wishes to your mom.

    Mimi ~ More healing wishes for Don. Can't believe they screwed something up in his surgery. Wait...yes, I can.

    Blueberry ~ Did this happen on the American Tobacco Trail? How awful. Hope they catch the sickos.

    Dear Self ~ Get over your silly blue mood. You have SO much to be thankful for and very little to complain about.

    Mimi, sorry Don is having a rough time. He is very strong ( I know this from reading a lot of your previous posts from your rides) and will pull through this. Also please try to take care of yourself too!! Positive vibes for both you and Don.

    Catrin , Sending healing wishes to your mom. Hope she gets better quickly

    Blueberry, Hope you can find a nice area to ride without the jerks around.
