I got a lot of strange looks as I rode past the people outside. I guess it did look funny with my BIG boot tied to the bike pedal or even on the Harley. It felt really good to get outside and even more to ride my tricycle. My goal this summer was to be able to ride the new 2 wheel bike that I got for Mother's day. But then when my foot became an issue, that goal went out the door. BUT I will someday get on that bike and learn to ride it.
My balance is very unstable from my MS but I was getting better so I know I will again after my fracture heals. For those of you that had not heard, my heel has a very bad fracture and the MRI showed that it was an old one that never healed. Having no feeling in my feet for so many years, I am not surprised that I had no idea that I had broke it. But the chances of it healing on its own is slim. I may have to get it re-broke or what they call "micro fractures" to allow it to heal. This is NOT what I wanted to hear. Being as active as I have the last few months re-injured that fracture. I guess walking barefoot on the treadmill, exercise bike and even basketball was not smart. I go back to the surgeon next Monday to see what he thinks the next move should be.
Anyway it was exciting to get out and at least feel like I am not just taking up space. The weather has turned bad again so I wont be going out today. I will be back in my assigned seat, where I have formed a very nice butt groove by the way. UGH!
Hang in there, Lesia! You are doing great! I'm sorry that the foot is giving you so much trouble.
ReplyDeleteWow! Good for you! Getting out of a rut is hard! I'm really likeing your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great that you got up and out for a ride! You inspire me to do better.
ReplyDeleteYay for getting out and riding your bike (or trike). I'm sorry about your foot, though, that's a bummer. It will be nice when it does eventually heal. All in time! Keep up your positive attitude!! :)

Oh man....so sorry about your foot. I hope you get some ok news when you go to the surgeon?!? Keep your head up!
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting on the bike! I hope your foot feels better soon. There's nothing like being in pain constantly.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job getting out there on the bike - and 3 miles is terrific!!! I hope you have a great week!!!

I'm glad you got on the bike, even if it is not yet what you hoped. I can only imagine how frustrating that injury it since my little non-displace fracture from spring break is still causing me discomfort and limited mobility. Here's to us both healing fully and quickly!
ReplyDeleteBiker chick on a tricycle. I'm envious. I need to get out and ride my bike. I would be losing faster.
ReplyDeleteboy I sure hope that don't happen with your foot... I hear ya on the same old same old... another week another day...
ReplyDeletehugs...
The tricycle was a good idea! I'm sorry your foot is in such a state. I hope you get good news from the surgeon.
ReplyDeleteYour title had me laughing before I even read the post. You tell it like it is, Girl!
Here's hoping you don't have to have that surgery! But if you do, we'll be here to assign you exercises that don't involve the feet. Lots and lots of exercises. *cue evil grin*
ReplyDeleteWhat a trooper!!! If I was injured, I would definitely use that as an excuse not to work out. Keep on keeping on, Lesia!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you got outside. Fresh air is always the best. Open up your window today and smell the rain. I love the smell of rain, one of my favorite smells. I love ya!!
ReplyDeleteGetting outside and doing something different is so good for the body and the mind!
ReplyDeleteYou are a trooper! Keep moving forward and trying different things to see what works.
Wishing you well in the days ahead.
Thank you for the nice comments on my blog, I really appreciate it.
