Hi all I'm back

[Headgardener]

Just as I was looking forward to spending the summer getting out and about on the bike I was rushed into hospital with a suspected heart attack which fortunately it wasn't but during the investigations it was found that my aortic heart valve had almost completely stopped working. It was decided that the valve would be replaced while I was already in hospital which meant that I spent just short of four weeks in hospital and I can't put any weight on my arms until the end of August which includes riding my bike.

Thanks all I had always put my breathlessness down to the aftermath of an operation that I had when I was 12 to remove a narrow section of my Aorta never for one moment thought that the valve itself was faulty. TMN planning is all I can do at the moment I can't even lift my bike up onto the stand to service it.

That was painful laughing at that

I wouldn't mind but I had just bought a Garmin Edge Touring bike GPS now it's just sitting on the side for the next two and a half months.

Glad to hear that you're on the mend @Headgardener and I'm sure the Garmin will still be ready for you when you start riding again.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
