Round up

This morning at physical therapy they let me bike for 7 whole minutes, 2 more minutes than I was allowed on Thursday. I have to keep reminding myself that this is progress, and that as frustrated as I am with the slow recovery, it could have been much worse.

I'm still under house arrest, with orders to limit walking and standing, but I did stage a short jailbreak yesterday so I could go see a movie with Josh--I was the woman who brought a pillow so she could prop up her foot on the seat in front of her.

This year's bike trip was supposed to be Santa Fe/Taos in mid-September, but last week the tour company canceled the trip due to low enrollment. Which was actually a relief, because I'd become increasingly worried about whether or not I'd be able to cope with such a challenging trip. After reviewing the options, we decided to still go that same week, but now our destination is the Outer Banks of North Carolina (easy! flat!) So all in all it's working out for the best. I get to go to one of my favorite spots and the cycling should be within my limits.*

*When pressed, my doctor agreed that my being sufficiently recovered in time for the trip is not an entirely unreasonable expectation. I took that as a Yes.
