Follow up urologist dr this afternoon and he is happy w/ my healing. The ‘crits are trending upward @ 38, normal for me would be 41, means that the more new blood is being created than lost. He wanted to physically see me for his appraisal. I passed. He told me that in 3 weeks the wound will be about 70% healed. The wound is a laceration which “scabs” over similar to a skin cut. Abrupt force applied to wound might “pick open” the scab and rebleeding will occur. 8-10 weeks is compete healing. In 2 weeks when I do ride I must get off the bike in control. I didn’t set out to fall on Little Creek, I did not see any issues with my route. How to be careful when i am already a Lifestyle Rider walking when I need to. Learned that weight lifting amount also applies. My bed probably weighs more than 30 pounds max limit which means that it will be Thermorest & sleeping bag for a while. I need to make friends where I camp to lift the bed.
Sent my fork back to PUSH for them to solve the leaking problem. It leaked at 247 miles after service. This time PUSH corrected my shipping address to Hurricane instead of my Seattle mailing address. Last time I sent it in they returned it to the Seattle address instead of Spokane. Works out again as I am grounded again for healing from an injury.
Yanks won the series.
Just hanging around Jubilee house. Sat in sun yesterday for 2 hours in mid 70s. This is all desert. If h2o wasn’t stolen from some place this place wouldn’t exist. Newer buildings have native settings & plants. Colors are desert. That’s for the medical buildings near my stay.
Tomorrow I head out. I will be staying locally until my new helmet arrives from back east from virtual store. I smacked the left side of my helmet and am replacing it because of the fall and it is 2 years old.
Local grocery store, maybe a chain, is Harmons. It has a chef prepared prepared food section. Like what Whole Foods chain was dubbed “Whole Check” has. Good food and I don’t pay for atmosphere or services. About 2 blocks from here. That’s dinner tonight.
Temps will drop back to normal upper 60s. Still sunny. Hard to beat for convalescing.
