The previous post turns out not to be the last hand one, after all.

I saw the doctor yesterday. He took some fluoroscope pix again, and I can see where the break was pretty clearly (though for some reason there's a 3 week lag between the bone knitting and it showing up). Still, I've gotten back a range of motion that apparently surprises the doctor. I'm about 8 weeks past the pinning, which is, according to him, the time with the most recovery. And the most of the rest s/b in the next 8 weeks (*sigh* possibly 8 more weeks of hand exercises.). So I see him next month to evaluate progress.

But the biggest part of this visit for me was: I can now ride my bike! Hooray! No more need to eye enviously even all those jerks riding without helmets, without signalling, etc. And just when I was feeling I would turn permanently into a slug, too. I am so out of shape :-(. I wonder how long it'll take to get back to speed, as it were...)

Of course, I should get my bike tuned up, but with Shavuot tomorrow night, I don't have time for extra errands this week..

bike, etc

i finally got on my bike yesterday (after months without going for a ride). i knew i'd be out of shape, but it was rather pathetic. there were hills i shouldn't have noticed, and i was just slower the whole time. and i got tired early last night (i ended up leaving a potluck/game night early :-( ). and this morning i'm still sort of body-tired, though my brain is ok. (or would be ok if the air conditioning worked in this building!). i definitely need to get out more...

at least the reasons (lately) for not riding have been good ones, hanging out with friends, flicks and plays and gaming. ok, and sometimes the weather. but mostly b/c life is busy. (which doesn't mean i shouldn't think of reprioritizing... exercise s/b more important than "not at all").
