Still recovering

OK, so that post about the dentist really does prove that I am obsessed with cycling.  I was more concerned about missing a day riding than about going to the dentist, even knowing how much that would take out of me.  After all, I’m still recovering from the dentist today.  So, really, that’s two days riding I’ve missed.

I really wish it didn’t take so much pounding and prying and drilling to get things done.  My lip is still swollen.  With my big mouth you’d think they could get at my teeth more easily.

As it is I can only ride for 15 – 20 minutes several days a week and then I can’t do anything else for the rest of the day.  Occasionally I need extra days off to recover more fully.  I can’t cycle on days I go to the doctor or to the store and I really shouldn’t on trash night but last week I did.  Still, I like it and miss it when circumstances keep me from it.  I think it’s because it makes me feel normal for a little while.  I know it’s illusory, or at least temporary, but I’m going to keep doing it and we’ll see how far it takes me.
