Me again.

I went to PT tonight. She worked on my palm/thumb. At some point I felt a slight "crack" inside and she felt it too. And it did some good for that palm. She thinks it may have been a "misaligned" bone/joint and with the manipulation it went right back into it's slot. She did a few things. I have a stress ball to squeeze 1-2 minute twice a day and keep icing it 3x a day. I should have not used my bike after the 3 falls same day but she understands that we were in a weird spot due to the upcoming challenge. So it is slowing down the healing process the fact that I "squash" that hand regularly on the handle bar. I need to strengthen that muscle because of the squashing and the ball will help. She also gave me 2 different types of foam to try on my bike. I was able to slide under the hood a piece of it. Training is tomorrow night so I'll see how it goes. But it does softens up that rubber part of the brakes. My gloves will be delivered home tomorrow (hoping they don't require a signature - meaning I would be able to pick them up only on Thursday) and it would be fun to try them at the same time as this is my last real training before the Saturday challenge.

Rain being forecasted for Saturday, she warned me to not go if it rains. She said 90km in the rain is not a piece of cake and I could fall and make it worse for the injuries. She would not recommend it. But if not, I will be up and ready for that challenge. I could not be more prepared.

So cross fingers that the rain forecasted changes to cloudy only (would not be as hot) although the temperature is way cool for the season. If I can, I'll have to try an hour outing, no hills, no speed. Just a relaxed ride before the biggie the next day.
