Surgery

For the ankle, and it is a day surgery

Somehow day surgery sounds better than just surgery It doesn’t mean a full day when it is scheduled for 12:30 today ~ The wife is nervous and rightly so Sending Reiki to her husband and some will also go to the surgeon and his team. And yes a little bit for her too. As her guess is that she will need some for the stress. ~ He is bummed that this ankle injury has wrecked his summer riding free He has plans to trade her bike and buy a Ryker that is a trike. Her feeling is okay, I will ride the Ryker when we ride together and he will ride it when riding alone. ~ How does a 900 Ryker compare My new signs for continuing to ride are 1. To lift my leg over the seat. 2. To lift my 1300 bike and hold it up. and 3. Still having my brain to ride. Two of the three are covered with the Ryker.

1. Only 23/24 inches seat height on it.
2. Only 616 pounds and on three wheels Then all I have to worry about is my brain! Oh shit That’s right, my brain may go and it feels like it could be my memory or being insane. ~ Back to surgery! Oh hell, a small distraction, and then Everything will go well. we have been through new knees when that was scary and wasn’t a day and the recoup was longer. Today it is in and out. Recovery should be shorter than no surgery and we don’t want to live with a messed-up ankle do we? Time to get ready for the trip to the big city for the operation. I will get a grip when I have to.
