My bicycle finally arrived in the mail today. I had it assembled and went for a short ride, and promptly wiped out on a hill after it started raining. Now the tape on one of my handlebars is completely shredded and my right knee is missing a lot of its skin. The knee doesn't hurt as much as my inner right elbow, which wasn't nearly as badly scraped because I was wearing long sleeves but it's red and swollen and unhappy. My wrist is a little hurt-y too. Still, I'm happy to have my bike with me and if it's not raining tomorrow I will be going on another ride. I was quite proud of myself because I made it up the 2 hills near my house without having to stop once. Last summer whenever I rode those hills I always had to stop and rest a minimum of 2 times. So yay for improvement!
I have these splotchy red spots on my arms and thighs that don't hurt or itch at all but they're a little unusual. I haven't had anything like it before. Mom had me convinced for a few minutes that it was scabies so I was urgently googling it, but scabies is supposed to itch a whole lot and scab over, so I highly doubt that it is scabies. Nevertheless I have been feeding off of my mother's paranoia for the last half hour and I am now determined to have it checked out. Sigh. I hate going to appointments.
My wrist hurts so I'm going to stop typing now.
