Lol

Finished on 6538

Up from about 40

Sadly I did vomit a couple of times, it was because of the medication and pain but eventually everything simmered down and it was, at one small point, enjoyable, it might sound silly but the levels of effort and determination required were far greater than I've ever needed to draw upon before.

Now, who's selling a 58/60cm road bike ;)

Morning RR, todsy looks set to be a good, albeit, a less active day, the recovery from yesterday feels good, sadly the nauseating side effects are still present, but, that's a fraction of what I've dealt with for the past several years.

Somewhat disappointed today, managed 2k steps and the day started early and brightly.

However at lunchtime the nausea overcame me and I've been laid up for a couple of hours, it might be starting to clear now, hopefully.

I've got to accept that there WILL be days like today, but I have to accept them and pause, this evening /tomorrow are another chance to shine

Day one was a resounding success, day 2 has been a bit of a fail, but 8t was always likey to be a very risky day.

I can do this...... #hopewillrideagain

Mate. There will be days like today. Let's hope they are few and far between. As I said previous. Take it easy and don't push it too hard. You need to build up your fitness again. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Yeah totally, there has to be a leash put on me to hold me back and keep things realistic, itching to go doesn't come close, tlmy specialist isn't overly concerned about the nauseating medication yet, hopefully it'll settled down over time.

A bit at a time.

Meds are horrible if not right. I've refused loads for the back pain having been on a few. The side effects were worse than the pain. Just have to accept I can't ride and exercise as my.

Getting the right balance of meds is tricky.

I've spent 4 years unable to walk or function, the new meds are a revolution for me, but as you say, getting that workable balance is tricky at times
