As if having to fight cancer isn't enough of a challenge, two days following my last treatment I decided to take a fall on my bike at the great speed of negative .5 mph. The bike lay itself down to the left as my body slammed the ground to the right. After my 10 year old helped her old ma up, and a kind neighbor lent his strength to put my rear brake pad back in place, the two of us rode home. Nary a scratch or bruise, just a bump on the shin. No problem.
Quite a different story by the next morning. My body hurt from the neck down and I began having back
spasms, which did wane by Sunday afternoon. Feeling much improved by Monday, though bruises started appearing on my legs, especially the left. Being that I have such lovely appendages anyway, the boo-boos created an even prettier sight.
Much improved as each day passes; however, I've yet to venture out on my bike.
