just need to vent

[rayzuki]

Being a new rider there are certain conditions I just won't ride in. Rain being on top of the list. Being in the Pacific Northwest this is the end of the rain season. I haven't riden since October and I am dying to get on the bike again. This last week has been dry and warm. Many riders on the streets and here I am in the passenger seat of my car with my wife driving me everywhere. Why? Good question. I can't drive. I can't walk. And I definately can't ride. I had surgery on my right foot in Jan. The surgery went well. The healing hasn't been according to plan. I forgot the medical term but in short I had cartilage deteriation (sp?) so the doctor went in removed the remaining and fused two bones together. The pain from bones and incisions is just about gone now but my foot is stiff as a board. I have very little movement and can't put any weight on it. I am on crutches and running out of patience. I have a contraption called an external fixater sticking out of my foot. It comes out next week and then off to physical therpy. I can hardly wait. I just need to get this thing out so I can get back to life.

thanks for letting me get that out.
