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?

The Post-Concussion Ride










Dare
I
ride?









Since
my
fall...





My
brain's
been
a
bit
addled.










Bad
Koda!











Don't
worry,
Mom!

I'll go
with
you!









I'm
a
little
hesitant...






things
feel
a
little
askew...







but
soon
I feel
right
at
home....
















on
my
beloved
Serotta!








It's
a
slow
spin....









past
sun
parched
land....








to
Carmel...









to
Auntie
Ems









and
ice
cream.






A
brief
stop
at
Carmel
cyclery...













new
bike
shorts
for
KC...








and
a
stop
by
Harvest
Breads....









Good thing
Frank
got me
these
panniers!








A
ride
back
home...


careful!








And
we
made
it!






Home
to
our
old
Stubby-cat...






our
old
Dusty-cat...








and
our
new
Cally-cat.


















Thank
you
KC!








It's
so nice
to be
back
to
normal!
