Glad you are back underway. Hope the cold is conquered.
1 week agoMade 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!
1 week agoWe rolled in along the Saone, collapsed in our room, and have seen nothing yet! I'm intrigued now about what we'll find tomorrow!
1 week agoThanks Suzanne! Our spirits remain good, though. Oh wait. I would need to wake Dodie up to see if she agrees!
1 week agoGood news about your shoulder. Isn’t Tournus wonderful apart from the killer hill to get to the top
1 week agoWell, 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!
1 week agoWe 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!
1 week agoTragic!
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!
Ouch, that sounds like a bad fall! Take it easy, maybe a rest day? Dodie will know what's best for you. I hope you are out of pain soon.
2 weeks agoJust so you are not the only one dealing with feeling poorly, sore throat, fall and too many boo boos, I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow.. And just think..two weeks ago today I was in Germany. 😬 ( and, yes, did return with sore throat which morphed into a cold..) I am such a sissy.
2 weeks agoMore like an “ache” de Triomphe for you, Grampies 😢
2 weeks agoHere I was chuckling over the potty situation and then blood is involved! Here's hoping that you feel better in the morning.
2 weeks agoHoping the shoulder heals but Beaume isn't a bad place to rest up a bit.
Best wishes.
Not to be indelicate - but what chance do you have of hitting the hole? Especially a woman, who is aiming blind? I'm familiar with squat toilets. Some places we visited in China and Egypt had them, and I actually preferred them as there were not contact areas. But those squat toilets had a basin of sorts between the feet, for much easier aiming!
As a female of a certain age, restroom facilities are of extra interest to me.
I am putting my trust in the Blue Pill, but Dodie doesn't believe in it!
