Medical Report.

I just returned from the doctor. They call my condition: Tendinitis.



I told him my plight. He was compassionate. He shared with me a time last winter when he had this big ski trip planned with his buddies, and when he was out for a jog one day his leg started killing him. It swelled up. He saw a doctor that week, rested it the rest of the week, went on the ski trip, skied three days, rested the last few, rested when he returned home.

He looked at me and told me that I'm a lot younger than he is, and my condition isn't as severe as his was. I should rest for a couple weeks and get back out there, not ride as hard as I did, but give the tendon some time to heal - and with careful cycling "not breaking any speed records". I should be okay.

So that's what I'm going to do. I'm taking two weeks off and monitor the pain. I'm still going to ride. Test hills, etc. If I feel 100% I'll be back on the road.

THANKS!

Hi everyone. Thanks for commenting on this and the Crazy Guy on a Bike Journal!
We're monitoring them as close as we can. All of the campsites we've been staying at have had electricity. The one we're at tonight has WiFi. I'm updating this from my tent!

I know a lot of people are coming to this site and checking it out. Please comment! Comment as much as you want. Say anything! It's encouraging for us to know that people are watching/reading this.

Today I was riding across the street to another state road and a gentlemen in a hatchback drove by and yelled: "I commented on your site!"

For me, that makes my day. This ride is one thing, journaling it for people to watch is another! Since film/video making is a passion of mine, it means a lot to me.

Special thank you to all the Pre-K parents from my class who are commenting and watching and having their kids watch.

(by the way, the next video we post has a lot of bad words in it. It will be called: How to Change a Tire with Dirty Words. So don't have the kids watch that one.

Back to editing.
