Are you sure this isn't to top up your hot baths, Steve?

I am better after that dreaded prep, so my good fortune is now being passed on to you both for better days and no colds or falls in the future!

Delighted to hear you can continue! I was quite concerned.

Hope Dodie gets past her illness quickly too!

That looks like Salvia yangii, or Russian sage, to me.

Do you realise that the Voie Bleu now goes from Macon to Lyon and is great

I am putting my trust in the Blue Pill, but Dodie doesn't believe in it!

Made it to Tournus now! Tomorrow it's a short hop to Macon, and then we'll jump on a planned train. I think getting here to Tournus was a big hurdle now cleared!

We rolled in along the Saone, collapsed in our room, and have seen nothing yet! I'm intrigued now about what we'll find tomorrow!

Thanks Suzanne! Our spirits remain good, though. Oh wait. I would need to wake Dodie up to see if she agrees!

Good news about your shoulder. Isn’t Tournus wonderful apart from the killer hill to get to the top

Suzanne Gibson commented on Day 55: Beaune to Tournus

Well, that was good news and bad news. I'm glad you can ride, Steve, but I'm really sorry to hear that you caught Steve's cold, Dodie. Get well soon, both of you!

Scott Anderson commented on Day 54: Dijon to Beaune

We are both so sorry, Steve. What awful luck! As frustrating as it must be, don’t push yourself tomorrow and make things worse. Good luck!

Tragic!

Sounds like maybe an auriculo clavicular separation. In 2001 I endoed my bike, then, doing my typical bike crash tuck and roll... I only got up to my knees at first. Hospital, x-rays, sling, pain meds... Took a week or more to lift my right hand waist high. The elbow down worked fine but for the first month I had to use my left hand to grip my forearm to move my right arm. The right arm just did not function at all, but a couple months following exercises recommended by some Physical Therapists I knew got most mobility back without surgery.

Yours sounds like it is not near as bad as mine was, with the mobility you describe, so I really hope you recover faster than I did!
