Almost a month ago I had just come home from a nice 30-mile ride. I've
put on a few pounds since I was riding a lot of miles last summer and
fall, but hadn't really gotten back into good condition yet. For the
most part I was riding pretty well, but I really felt the extra weight
on the hills.
That evening I had intense abdominal pains, and ended up in the
hospital with emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction. Ouch. A week
in the hospital on IV fluid and no food, and a couple of weeks of
extreme nausea and inability to eat much, have caused me to drop a lot
of weight needless to say. I'm down about 20 pounds from what I
weighed the last time I was on the bike.
I'm really in the mood to take the new slimmer bod for a test ride,
but I'm forbidden from engaging in exercise for another five weeks.
D'oh! The summer is going to be half over by the time I get back on
the bike!
