Banned from Biking









Sorry,
Ripley!








My
siblings
tell
me....








I'm
banned
from
biking.





I
tried
biking
to
work
Friday.





It
was
a
beautiful
morning...







But
the road
whizzing by
under
my
tires

made
my head
spin.








And
my
Doctor
Brother
Nic....








scared
me
with
articles
about
SIS.







So
a
beautiful
weekend
passes






with
Ripley
sadly
idle.









I
call
a
doctor
friend...

Dr Barr,
How do I
recuperate
from
a
concussion?

Well,
Helen,
you
won't want
to hear
this....









No
physical
activity...






No
mental
activity....













Well,
Dave...

What
THE HECK
do
I do
then?!






Go
bananas,
was his
acerbic
response.





Thanks,
Dave.







So I go
for
more
inactive
activities.






An early
visit
to the
Fishers
Farmers
Market...






A
quiet
walk
at
Ft Ben.










Watering
my
trees...






with
my
unapologetic
puppy.










Shopping
with
KC...









Light
reading...










Light
walking...








I'm
so
tired
of
Light!












But
can I
survive
for a
week...









without
my
Serotta?

  1. Interesting Helen, good luck with the recovery. I do have had a bad concussion, and took a long time to recover. Your bike will forgive you. :)

  2. Keep the faith, Helen--I'm amazed you are able to work. Listen to lots of restful music--and try to relax. Your bike will always be waiting for you! I had to take a two-week reprieve from biking myself recently due to a virus and then company--it's not easy but can be done! You are a strong woman and will return to your passion! Better days are coming!

  3. Thinking of you Helen. Take care of yourself and you'll be back in the saddle in no time.
