Long day, fast ride.
Wow. Wiped.
Let's see... we unwrapped AC this morning! Down to the steristrips then she was able to take a shower. Everything looks nice, no oozing or swelling. Later, she had to put the ACE bandage back on, and the cryocuff... and the brace.
Then she hightailed it Out of Here to see the neighbour. No crutches, fully weight bearing.
Next challenge for dh and me: Keeping the damn brace on the non-compliant teen.
After, dh and I took Perry to REI to get him a... a new bike. Ignoring the basic principles of the arms races, MAD, and biking with children, we bought him a nice road bike, which is, to be honest, better than either of our mountain bikes with slicks.
He can go wicked fast with that thing.
Came home, got everything ready, then dh, Perry, and I headed out for a 30 mile bike ride. Which we did. Fast, by our speed. As in, averaging about 2mph better than on shorter rides on the same bike trail. The kid can go and go and go....
Here he is, going slowly so dh could get a good shot!
