Red, if you're reading this, how's your brother doing?

Red, if you're reading this, how's your brother doing?

Thanks for asking, Indy, he's doing well. He can't lift more than 5lbs until his follow up appointment, so that's been tricky. Luckily I'm just a few blocks away so I can help him. He seems to be adjusting to the low sodium diet. The rehab hasn't started yet, but we're going to take a walk today. He needs to start moving.

(((Red))) I missed your earlier post about this.

[Crankin]

That's good to hear, Red.

[indysteel]

Thanks for the update, Red. I'm glad he has you, in more ways than one. I hope he's able and willing to make the changes necessary for better health.

I finally feel better from my stupid accident. The black eye is fading. Although the lump on my forehead is smaller, it's not receding as quickly as I'd like. But, it's partially under my bangs. I just feel better. I went to boot camp this morning, for the first time in 10 days, as I had skipped last Thursday, because it was icy out. No ill effects, and since I normally feel like I'm going to die, doing that stuff at 5:30 AM, I am good. Yesterday, I did a hilly 8 mile ride, to sort of test myself. I used my granny gear for the climbs and my computer is messed up, so I had no idea how fast or slow I was going.
I probably should not have ridden 33 miles on Sunday, as I felt like a truck hit me on Monday. I guess I forgot how much energy it takes for our bodies to recover.

So excited!!! My DS is coming home from Afghanistan next week (he lives in Long Beach, CA) and will be coming to visit with his wife Dec. 18-23. I haven't seen him in a year and a half. Praying my DIL can control her moods, but I will try and give her a pass as she has to put up with him!

That's awesome news, Crankin!

Yay Crankin! What a nice Thanksgiving gift.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my TE sisters. I'm seriously grateful to all of you.

[Catrin]

Very nice Crankin, that is great!

Seconding the Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here at TE. I am thankful to all of you and to TE for hosting this forum.

+1! Thank you all for everything!

Me too! Thanks for giving me something to aspire to as I dream of being back on my road bike. Reading of your adventures, bikes, and lives keeps me going while I can't be riding my Bike Friday on smooth roads and paths. Happy Thanksgiving all with gratitude!

I seriously think of everyone here as my friend. Not like in Facebook friend, but real friend. I knew I was in trouble, when in the course of a conversation, I said that "I have a friend who lives in Belize."

[emily_in_nc]

Heheh, I resemble that remark!

I feel the same. And virtual friends can very easily become real-life friends when geography allows!

[Catrin]

I also feel the same way about the women here, and I've made face-to-face friends with several women from this forum. Crankin, I've made that same comment about a couple of women here, so you aren't the only one
