omega PHARMA lotto. Was already there for a long time.

My right knee is responding much slower to the Synvisc, and I'm convinced this is somehow related to the compromised circulation in the right leg. Not that I can get any of my friggin doctors to tell me anything. Another area of Massive Medical Cluelessness. There are many. And I have great appreciation for modern medicine, so don't get me wrong. Holy crap, I can't even imagine how bad it was 50 or 100 years ago. I think it's like getting older as a person. In medicine (much like life) they'll discover something new, which reveals to them 4 other things they didn't even realize that they didn't know.

Anyway, Synvisc patients tend to derive more relief from the drug as time goes on (typical max benefit is 10-12 weeks after the injections, I'm only 3 weeks out) and my leg is slowly improving. Still can't ride normally. Doesn't hinder my guitar playing however, 2+ hours on the axe today.

Must've missed it. Kinda quit paying attention to pro cycling when I lost my belief in a drug-free Santa claus.

Spoiler alert:

England beat Scotland 47-nil in women's rugby.

Anybody who dvr's sporting events expecting to not have the results revealed to them (particularly the Super Bowl) is elevating their Stupid Level to 41 (the meter only goes to 40, hence the name of this part of BF).

I came back to continue to interact with people I truly like, but I anticipate this will be my last post.

Thanks for the fun y'all. Most of you know where to find me.

Huh? valygirl made the post, I just edited it.

We've been getting complaints of spoilers in the threads. I deleted references to the spoiler in that post and a couple of others.

Indeed we do. But I anticipate you'll be back BECAUSE you want to interact with the people you truly like. :) Matter of fact, I'll bet my bike on it. :D

Au revoir for now, until I sign up for the other side of the internet. If I ever do, that is.

Velo Gator made the post, you edited it, and sent the admonition to keep the spoilers away as valygrl. Whatever. It matters not. Maybe valygrl was just in the mood to go all vigilante and crack down on spoilers. More power to her.

Siu Blue Wind 02-05-12 10:40 PM

???

Dr Pete, here is the post that was edited. Look at the bottom, it says who edited it. It was what Valygrl quoted that was edited.

I'm not valygirl. And I edited rjones28's post, not Velo Gator's.
