Of Femurs and Such
So a few days ago I broke my femur for the second
time in 3 years. Different femur (the other has an awful lot of steel around it
now). I'm going to see if can get e-copies of the x-ray from the doc (not
likely), in which case I'll post
them.
At any rate, I'm now in the worst
condition from a mobility perspective that I've been since I was 15. Amazing
what it takes to motivate you. So today was my first day home. Did lots of
weight lifting to work on my arms, put ankle weights on my bad leg (the one I
broke three years ago, to contrast it with my really bad leg that I broke a few
days ago), and started working it hard, etc. I'm also working hard to keep my
calorie intake seriously under my needed intake so that I can start shedding
some pounds. As soon as I can (which won't be for a while, I do need to take
the ramp up on my leg slowly), I'll get back on my trike and start working on
that. The goal? Well, to get in shape so don't brake a femur by taking a bad
step. However the goal to get me there is to ride a Century (100 mile ride).
Don't quite know when, but we'll see.
