Well, My Summer's Over

Ouch!! Sorry to hear that happened to you, and glad it wasn't worse. Heal up quickly! And yes, take a stool softener with those pain meds, they are notorious for causing constipation. Not something you need on top of everything else.

thanks everyone, for your support. Cindy! I had no idea you'd taken a fall recently. I hope you are all healed up yourself. Yes, beloved Sparky is all I'm allowed to ride until the ribs heal. My Dr actually said I could TRY to continue training for STP on Sparky, but I decided it was just too much pressure. He said to let my pain be my guide, but there is also the element of anxiety about being on the road when the reckless drivers are absolutely everywhere. I am opiate free this morning, and was considering taking the trike out for a spin (after buying a new helmet), but the thought of all the traffic I will have to engage with just on that mile jaunt over to the Interurban is giving me a fluttery stomach.
