Can you teach an old dog new tricks???
I sure hope so as I think that reality may be setting in and I am trying to deal with the fact that life may be handing me 5 new cards in game of 5 card draw. The challenge is that I am not sure what to do? Do you lay them down or do you go all in?
Choices, every day we make choices, and our decision carves our future and creates not only our reality but many more opportunities to change direction. One year ago today I was struggling with decisions regarding ankle surgery and recovery. One year before that life was perfect and I was debating between long days in the Santa Ana’s or centuries on the road bike...
Today I have a new challenge to figure out. How to walk up my stairs like a normal human being, without my knee buckling beneath me. It amazes me how our worlds can change. Today I spent some time with my orthopedic surgeon and we finally had time to talk. After a full review of my case running will be out of the question and our new goal is to be able to walk like a normal person, without pain that spikes 12 on the 1 - 10 scale.
Today was injection number 1 and per doctors orders 30 minutes of riding around the parking lot to start to recover from complete quad atrophy. I figure go big or go the fuck home and die so I spent 30 minutes spinning with only my left leg.
