My last post generated quite the response. Many people offered "words of wisdom." Without their permission (sorry guys), I'd like to share some of them here.
From Anna:
"heads up, champ!! you're one of the fastest riders i know, you're in med school in a beautiful town, you're smart and good-looking and have lots of friends! things will be speedy and cheery soon."
From Bruce:
"Riding should be fun. Take it easy on yourself.
'Not every ride is a race and not every race is a ride.'"
From Nan:
"Your visit home sounded great. I especially related to what you mentioned about your Mom and the shopping bout you two had.
Anyway, you are back in Hanover. Restarting school, enjoying the non-downpour days & moving forward in relationships. We still admire your full throttle approach to whatever you do. Hang in there on these shaky days. Your team is still here routing for you."
From Dad:
"I suggest you just keep cycling in perspective. There is running, swimming, work outs, road work, whatever, but you gotta get hand back to normal or beyond. Become a sex slave for exercise if you have to. But, give Mr. Hand a vacation.
So sorry about the accident, your hand and the bike, but hey, maybe THE UNIVERSE is trying to tell you something. Really. "
FYI...labs came back normal, except for some slightly elevated neutrophil counts. I think that my RBC and hGb should be higher in their ranges for an athlete that just came from altitude. No lyme titer yet.
Also just to make sure that everyone is clear, I'm not going back to school until late November. Though my new class is arriving now and the anxiety is beginning to mount, I'll remain in purgatory for bit longer.
Some of the artwork is starting to roll in at work:
