For instance, I learned to crochet while healing from an appendectomy, and now I crochet (particularly in poor weather when I am too lazy to ride, swim, etc.) as a way to relax. Sometimes having hobbies that don't require too much physical exertion can be a relief so one doesn't go stir-crazy while they heal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-84245067561380978142011-08-17T15:22:11.397-06:002011-08-17T15:22:11.397-06:00Healing takes time, more than we think!

And yes, Vi...Thanks for the well wishes, everyone.<br /><br />And yes, Vito, life is good. Honestly, three or four years ago, having to miss a long-planned mountain bike race because I crashed my bike on an easy descent and got a boo-boo on my arm would have thrown me into a full-on depression. I feel like I have better "big picture" perspective now, although I am of course still disappointed.<br /><br />And a few others have taken recent posts of mine as evidence that I am becoming unhappy in California. Nothing could be further from the truth. I do miss Alaska in a way that aches sometimes, but it's a good ache, an acknowledgement that I feel Alaska is an important key to both the person I've become and the person I hope to be in the future. For the present, I am happy because I am: <br />a.) Doing meaningful work (even if it's often difficult to convince others of its meaningfulness because I define myself as "self-employed," bring in a lower income than I have in most (but not all) of my years as a professional, and work from home.) Still, I'm making progress toward my goals and I'm pleased with where I'm at, both in my life and my career. I know it's meaningful to me and that's what matters.<br />b.) Spending time with a man who I love, respect, and learn from every day.<br />c.) Growing as a trail runner and outdoor adventurer. (even if my recent results and crashes don't necessarily reflect this. But I do learn a lot from my failures.)<br />d.) Making exciting plans for the future.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-89151269819861411392011-08-17T09:46:28.495-06:002011-08-17T09:46:28.495-06:00Oh, dear...pain sucks.

Trying to keep riding was the dumbest thing I've done to this point. <br /><br />Be patient and give it time. You're fortunate to come away with just the rash and remember what you said awhile back..."Life is Good" :)Vitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277306434031774094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-52886599665010436642011-08-17T02:44:26.290-06:002011-08-17T02:44:26.290-06:00I know how you feel.

I was Ok until the right turn into the pub carpark. I couldn't control the bike at all with my left hand, and it hurt like hell. Sunday night it dislocated again while I was sleeping, god know what I'd done, but I woke up in agony.<br /><br />At least we're both fixable. we'll be back out there soon enough<br /><br />TimTim Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277034044977018254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-4170821351558866982011-08-16T21:54:12.624-06:002011-08-16T21:54:12.624-06:00Sorry you are having it so rough!
