Macdocs Lament ••• Forks - same old same old, maybe a bit better.
- Thread starter MacDoc
- Start date
Pain is corporal punishment for getting something wrong. It beats capital punishment.Struggling today....shoulder and ribs sore.
Continue to heal. The pain will fade. Then one day you notice it's gone and it's time to plan the next adventure.

Got bored of riding the Forks back and forth so to make it interesting , I ride it at night. Nice and calm. Lots of bugs tho.
I'm convinced it's slightly haunted tho (the road).
I'm sorry to see this thread took a turn for the worse...that's a nasty blow after all those years of riding MacDoc. At least you're here to tell the tale. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

How long they figure you’ll still be in a hospital bed?
Not in a hospital but in an recovery program that leads to fully functional recovery.

I'll be day tripping out in a bit to visit the kid who is home now once I get a bit more mobile.
I'm only just now able to sit up on edge of bed and eat meals. Healing proceeds apace.
Next is transition from bed to wheel chair and walker. Long weekend put a short dent in progress but injuries need healing time.
Then fracture assessment end of month.

Rode through the Forks yesterday. Someone had dropped a bunch of straw or hay on the hair pin. At first I thought maybe to soak up an oil spill, but I don’t think so. Road to Terra Cotta all ripped up, slight detour around it into Glen Williams and a stop at the Café/ Market place.

It's actually woodchips on the road. Will need to swept off cause the wind from passing vehicles won't blow them off the road
Lunch in the cafeteria ..called barbeque but .....hamburger was okay...soup very good, tea still marginal.
......
Have a room mate now - older .... just listened to a DNR conversation.
Still recall the one with my dad....
I'm such a naif ....had not even been to a funeral tll my 60s .....no one died I was close to....both parents lived to 95. Good genes if I can stay healthy and vital as my dad did. Mom was healthy but a happy vegetable.
Somewhat unnerving being in a recovery program population mixed with long term care. Sobering.

I used to ride at night in the summer ....nervous about deer tho. Liked the back roads towards KW.
Kid and I were out and we ran into a swarm of midges.....his helmet was almost blacked out.
I should be back riding in Aus in November.
Might be my last go in Canada other than kids eScoot.

Went through Haliburton Monday night. Between entering from Harburn Road and exiting town on 21, we saw 23 deer munching peoples lawns. Yikes. No deer for rest of trip.
but was nice to get outside for supper.
but of course some s loss of muscle mass
Doing deficiencies for a window company in a recently occupied building I needed to do a spot of clean up. Seeing a couple of maintenance men nearby I asked where I could get some warm soapy water.
One suggested the cafeteria. His partner, with a heavy Scottish accent, said "Ask for tea."
Small pleasures...been a long time between shaves.
Nurses making my day guessing my age. I think the helmet sitting on the shelf influences them
56 is the low guess.....
Impatient to get to the next fracture clinic so I can get arm and leg on weight bearing. Wheel chair is not friendly to my sciatica so the sooner a walker the better.
Should have grabbed earplugs earlier.....good sleeps now and circulating orders NOT to wake me. Things progress.
Unfortunately kid is struggling with cramps in both legs below the knee. Can't walk.
He's at home but bed bound until he gets some medcal help on Monday

Off to watch Oppenheimer in 70 mm on Saturday. A bit nervous as will be longer in the wheelchair than my daily jaunts ...it's hard on my sciatica tho sore ribs and shoulder are gone.
Will drug up and count on Nolan's magic.
I've almost finished the biography the movie is based on. Gives me a goal to get into street clothes and go out with the kids.
End of month will see leap forward as second fracture assessment will be completed.
.......
Really good but long day in the wheelchair - 7hr +
worth it but sore
