Turn around yesterday, Mrs Stonechat admitted to hospital
Looks like either leg infection or DVT. Dr came and wanted her in hospital. Could not move her so we had to get ambulance

Oh no Bob, that's not so good. Glad the Dr acted on it quickly though and got her straight in. Hope you get some good news today.

That's excellent.
Just checked last year I did over 400 miles in January. This year only 75 so far Mostly weather related as I'm not prepared to chance the ice at all. Not too bothered though. I have enjoyed the four rides I have managed and the brisk walking and jogging in between seems to maintain some fitness. It's only for fun on my part anyway.

Last year I did 251 miles in Jan. It was low because of the first of two waves of flooding, the second in Feb was when we flooded.
Last year did 5547 feet of climbing in Jan. this year over 20,000

I have to stay in this morning, as someone coming, we are waiting for, so will not be able to get over hospital until the afternoon.
The ultrasound scan should help confirm whether it is DVT (Remember I was a tech suppport engineer on Ultrasound scanners so know about this area).

Hi all. I hope you're all well.
Sorry to hear about the wife @Stonechat

I've not been on here for a while but glad to see the thread is going strong still. I've seriously lacked on the cycling side of things. Started a new job for Jaguar Land Rover last September. Gone from a very active workshop job to a desk job (luckily keeping the extra lbs of weight away lol!)

Hoping to get out more as soon as I can. Looking at doing steadier rides and Audaxes and enjoying the scenery and cafe's rather than all out fast as I can this year.

@Stonechat Hope she gets better soon

Thanks all for good wishes
It is not DVT but still undiagnosed.

Still doing my Wednesday trip to Chertsey but as heavy rain forecast, I will be driving. I now have two peeople to visit Mum and Mrs Stonechat.
Visiting Mum this afternoon and my wife this evening.
Will try for a brief afternoon ride. Also have a delivery coming between 1 and 2 so cannot go out before that
My time is becoming more regimented!
Not enough time!

Well visited Mum by bike, belting up to Chertsey Bridge nd Back first, and after went over to Chertsey again, and did my obligatory hill reps, came back just in time to walk doggy.
Seeing Freda (my wife) tonight and I will do thi by bike.
Whilsin Chertsey I return the Garmin Heart Rate strap and monitor which has failed again, and go a front light to see by.
Spent £12 in the last two days on hospital parking so a good incentive to bike it.

Will get heart rate strap froma different maker
Forgot to stop Garmin at the nursing home

I think having to pay for parking whilst visiting a hospital for oneself, or visiting an in-patient, is a *loody disgrace.

Hope your wife is 'on the up'.

SNOWING!

Still no progress!

Still a covering here too. Managed a gentle jog with the pooch first thing as snow was fresh underfoot. Up to a balmy 1 degree now and heading out 1.30 for my afternoon walk with my neighbour. Blue sky and sunny so no doubt turn to frost again overnight.
