(Pun not intended)
We went to the hospital yesterday and today and here is the CSA (Current State of Affairs).
Yes, crashing off your bike, wrecking it, is all fun and games, but recovering…
The last few days, I had to endure quite a bit more pain, but that seems to be ‘as expected’.
The body is in the clean-up phase and it is actually a bit like flushing lactic acid after a long training or tour.
In addition, I am trying to reduce the (addictive) medication and that probably has something to do with it.
Now, it doesn’t really help that with every further investigation a new problem is discovered.
After a CT scan of my shoulder, they discovered a fracture in that joint.
This one is also ‘neatly straight’ and the bruise hurts anyway, so it is not a real setback, but a bit of a mental setback nevertheless.
But, if you commit yourself to Alpe d’HuZes and then think about what (and especially who) you are doing it for, then you don’t sit and whine about a little (extra) fracture…
And indeed, it could have been a lot worse, so I am happy that – albeit reluctantly – I can still keep things on track on the Tacx and the spinning bike.
That doesn’t change the fact that it is quite intense, all in all, and the surgeon drew a parallel with the animal kingdom: if I had been a lion, I would be dead now.
Luckily I’m a cancer and I’m not a wimp.
So, we do laugh quite a bit, despite the fact that that also hurts!
