Purple Tinted Glasses

I decided that today I would start riding my bike to work in an effort to 1. be more environmentally friendly, and 2. step up my training for the MS 150.

Well, a little over two miles into it I got “tracked” and ate concrete in Lee Circle. Apparently it gets even the best bikers. I thought I’d just come home and take a shower, have Will patch me up and head on to work in the car.

Instead, I blacked out at least once and before I could start to lather up the shampoo in my hair I almost blacked out again. Will packed me up and brought me to the ER. After a first attempt at Tulane/LSU, we wound up at Touro and I was stitched up by the same doctor as Will back in January. The grand total, sweet 16!

Since then, I’ve pretty much been laid up on the couch. My left hand is swollen, my left forarm is bandaged up, my left leg is throbing and the shampoo is still in my hair. At least I got to eat a bagel for breakfast, Wendy’s for lunch and who knows what for dinner.

So, when can I start skating again? Dunno. No joints were hurt, but I don’t want to pop a stitch or anything. Below are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
