Cleared to ride

I’ve been healing very well from the accident. The physical therapist and my regular doctor have been positive and upbeat about how quickly I’ve been recovering. I have been doing regular exercises and trying to not work too much on the computer. The strain from looking down exacerbates the neck sprain.

The good news is that I’ve been cleared to start riding again. Simple stuff, like walking on a trail, but it’s a start.  The bad news is that the lowest part of my spine is sore when I sit in the wrong spot. I’m concerned that sitting in the saddle will not be comfortable.

The good news is that I’ll get to find out soon! Kasane has been very patient with me. We’ve just been doing ground work and she seems to enjoy the change. I know she’s getting bored through. Invest in recovery now instead of doing too much now and relapsing when I’m so close to being fully recovered.

  • Car go crunch

    Last week on Wednesday, I was taking the back way home to avoid accidents on the interstate and ended up in an accident myself. A silver SUV turned left from oncoming traffic across my lane on 54. Major intersection. Lots of traffic. One minute my lane was clear, and the next there was a car…

  • Work and stuff

    One of my clients today pointed out that I’ve been overbooked. It hit hard, and also made me realize how much stuff I’m involved in that is not important. The last two to three weeks have been consumed with computer issues and trying like mad to finish things for deadlines. Stretched thin is the understatement…

  • Free International Calls

    If you have friends overseas, here are some great resources for using a domestic dial-through number to make free international calls. Here’s how it works: dial the access number for the international dialtone (in this case, the number is based in Iowa), dial the international number at the dialtone, and then you’re connected to the…

  • Pain in the neck

    Shortly before I left work, my neck started hurting and my back felt stiff. I woke up at approximately 2:00 with a very stiff neck. I could not turn my head to the right without catching my breath. It felt rather like someone was poking a three inch, 18 gauge needle into my vertebrae on…
