I haven't been riding since July 7. I went to the hospital everyday to help my mother try to get better but she could not so we helped her to the next world. She went to rehab even though she was probably too weak and gave it her best shot. She made some friends there and prized a beaded bracelet another rehaber gave her for finishing her first workout. She looked like she was improving but had lung problems that could not be solved and then she could not eat or drink without asperating so she could not eat or drink anything so we made the decision to allow her to go to heaven. After a surgery she searched her wrist and asked where her bracelet was. The surgical team removed it for surgery. we located it and she was happy. She worked hard for it. She did not suffer and hospice was over in 3 hours. We will bury her on Monday. My family and all her friends will miss her. Back to riding next week.

Last riding for a few days - crashed out real hard on the last one. Like "going 25mph then pedal-strike and now going ??? mph sliding on pavement" crash. Went to the ER - will be healed soon, but gonna take it easy for a little while.

Finally got back on the bike yesterday - kind of mandated, as I'd bought tickets for the Flight of the Dove sportive and my daughter was doing it with me! Had to do that 14(ish) mile ride.
Legs felt good, so got back onto Zwift today. Legs are fine (scabs are soft and raw flesh is tingly in a not-so-nice way). What's killing me is the flippin' right arm. Right finger's still soar so I can't shift my road bike easily, right arm's a bust (not busted, fortunately, but still a bust) so can't shift on the bar-end shifters. Can get out of the saddle if I remember to rest my weight on my left arm (re: I didn't shift my weight to the right arm today and my right arm is punishing me for it).
At least the legs got spinning again. Hopefully in another week or so I can handle some light jogging and perhaps some planks.

Did a nice Zwift ride today via the climb portal. Took it a smidge too hard (one of these days I'll learn how to not go full gas up a Zwift climb, I swear) - may preemptively dial down the trainer difficulty for tomorrow's ride.

Started the 'Back to Fitness' workout program in Zwift again - my SO is doing it for his first time, so I'm accompanying him. Good times! This workout plan is great.

My lack of self control bites me in the patotie constantly - latched onto a fast-moving group instead of taking it easy like I should have. Every scab and the right arm are griping at my stunted intellect right now.
