7 Weeks Post Op

It has been a while since I last posted on Buddha Belly Bikes (BBB).  Sorry for that.  I am also really sorry to go on about this, but this has been the most boring few weeks of my life.  Maybe, it's because I have not been posting on BBB.    I hope that you can imagine that I am stuck in the house with limited mobility.  Yes, I am still in the leg brace with 0% movement, non weight bearing and still with crutches.  It is driving me mad!  I know that I am not the best patient.  I have had a lot of visitors during the last few weeks.  I am very thankful.  But, still its still really boring.

My treats of the week are going to the hospital and also getting taken for a coffee (which I am very grateful for).  Last weekend, I was taken for a wee trip down to North Berwick to see the fat bikes at Forth Fat.  I would like to take part in Forth Fat next year.  Here's hoping that I can.

We also went to the newish coffee house called "Steampunk".  Lovely we place.  Loved the coffee.  Bought a pack of freshly roasted and ground expresso coffee to bring home.  I've used it up already.  Never mind, my old mate, Pete, is now living down in North Berwick, so I got in touch and ask him to bring me some more up to me the next time he is in this neck of the woods.

After the trip to North Berwick, my knee was pretty swollen and sore, so I sat all night with the Cyro Cuff on.  The Cuff has been a godsend for pain relief.  I wish I had known about it when I first came off my bike as it would have help no end.  I think the cuff will be my pal for sometime yet.

The weather seems to have improved the last few days.  I have been fantasising about getting out on my bike.  One of the things that I have been dreaming about is an overnighter in the Cairngorms.  At the moment it seems so far off.  Maybe, I will get there in August 2014.  Here's hoping.
