Yup, the doc went through my throat. The scar isn't too bad, we'll see how it looks in a month or so. So far all I get is the stink-eye when I mention riding, so Bleu remains in mothballs for now. Dr B knows what my goals are, so I'm sure he'll tell me when I can start riding. Maybe after PT?
I get mildly panicky when I feel any kind of twinge/tingle in my arms or hands. I have to remind myself it's only been ~3 weeks, and Dr B said it may take time for all the symptoms to go away.
I drove myself to the bank yesterday, in my collar. NEVER AGAIN. It was too scary, I'll walk next time. The bank, drug store, SBux and the bus are all within 1/2 a mile, so there is no reason not to walk, now that I'm an endurance walker
