I went to the doctor today, also. I thought it was just going to be a simple follow-up but it seems that I'm still being treated for things found during my accident last July 31st.
Two items to be checked are a brain MRI for some medical stuff I didn't understand and an ultrasound of my lower aorta which also may have an aneurysm like up in the arch. While my doc was listening to my lungs, she noticed a couple spots on my arm that she said were pre-cancerous so she removed them. I told her I had a spot near the outside of my eye and she said it was suspicious, too, but I'd have to see a specialist. I give up. Doctors suck, no offense Datlas. |
I do tend toward being the grumpy old man, however. I'll just leave it there.

Still no blockages showing up in the branches that feed the brain. I'm glad he's thorough though.

I already publically regretted the post.:). Nothing wrong with hookers and blow. I can't afford those either.

I can't read "carbon" without saying "crabon" in my head. Even in a non-cycling context.

Maybe not in central Illinois. Should be easy to find meth though. And, on the subject, I've been watching docus on cycling races from the 60s and 70s. Their take on doping is that the dope simply makes the rider not feel pain, so he rides himself to exhaustion. Literally passes out and crashes. Has to be carried off.

I should start a thread. 2009 bike better than 2015? That's crazy talk.

RIP Tom Simpson. Victim of that era's "doping".

Second part, amphetamines were used a lot before the modern age so they could race day in and day out instead of like today where racers pick and choose their races more carefully. Doping is as old as bicycle racing. I had a book that had a pic showing racers sharing a bottle of some doping concoction on the line in full view of spectators, judges, etc. |

Apology is not enough. Your penance is to delete all of those ride from strava, AND your logbook.

Yes, he was the historian in the group. He lost it somewhere. The election changed a lot of people.
Good one. |

I was having a hard time motivating myself to get out the door for errands on this dreary day, but BF changed my mind. A post reminded me that Aldi recently received bike repair stands, so I figured that was a good excuse to get on with the grocery shopping and see if my local Aldi had a stand. They did, but they don't any more. Yup, I'm a high roller.

Successful cardiology exam this AM. Good blood chemistry numbers. Same old funky heart action from the heart attack. Hard to believe August 9 will be 20 years. Doc got bored at about 90% of max heart rate on the stress test. And had to have the perfunctory Doppler ultrasound exam of my carotids due to the noises he always hears. Still no blockages showing up in the branches that feed the brain. I'm glad he's thorough though.
