Two weeks down, and ten long weeks to go. It's been an up and down two weeks, but I suppose that is to be expected as the body recovers from being invaded, then gets used to having extra bits and pieces floating about. Levels are similar to the trial which is great. Have had a couple of bad days, one of which I basically slept most of the day. But on a positive note it has mainly been a major improvement. It's just operating within the confines of these BLAST rules that is the problem.

Doesn't help when one of our riding buddies calls in a couple of times while out cruising on his bike. But that's life in the colonies. We have a big ride planned in October, about 5 weeks after life gets back to semi-normal. So will have to get plenty of short rides in during those 5 weeks to avoid getting saddle sore on our trip. It's my bright light at the end of the tunnel at the moment.

"Major improvement"

well that is just wonderful to hear...and yes it is an invasive surgery...

I have to please ask that you put up with BLAST....when you are on the other side of the ten weeks you will be so grateful that you did.
Take up puzzles.

hold back so that bike trip will be the real blast.
