Well finially!!

My hand cycle arrived on Monday and it is AWESOME!  I was only able to take it for a spin around the block because I had to work but today I was able to get it out in the country.  I rode 10 miles and it was so cool to have the wind in my face again and it is very comfortable.  I think I could easily ride across the entier United States..... as a matter of fact I am in the beginning stages of planning a coast to coast trip next summer. I want to ride from southern Cali to probably Myrtle Beach.  Its about 3500 miles and I think I could do it in 2 months.  Like I said it is just a thought right now but I would love to make it reality.

Anticipation!!

Well I ordered my handcycle about 6 weeks ago and paid extra for quick shipping.  I was contacted by the company that they could not ship handcycles quick, that there was a 6 week period because the bikes were built to order. So it was supposed to ship out today from Florida, I called and they are a week behind so now I wont get it for another 2 weeks!!!! The anticipation is killing me!!!!

On another note, I visited with my neuresurgeon this week to discuss the last procedure I had done to aleviate my nerve pain, which had no effect, and to discuss what other options I have.  As I expected he said that until ther is something new that comes around that there is nothing else that he can do for me. BLAH!!! So look like this is my life for now so I guess I'll just have to make the best of it and learn how to cope.  It has been hard in the past I think because I have thought that there was always something else that I could try and that one of these procedures HAD to make a difference. But now that I know that this is it I can accept that I am going to have pain every day for the rest of my life and just get on with it!!
