I RODE A BIKE AGAIN! Sort of. I went to the doctor on Tuesday. I got an X-ray, it showed nothing. The doctors assistant looked at my scar. It looks good. I still am not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds. I am still not allowed to twist. Those rules hold until I see the doctor again in 2 MONTHS. THAT'S 8 WEEKS The only thing that changed was now I am cleared to ride a bike. I will need to set up the bike for a more upright ride, and get help getting it out to the street(its more than 10 pounds), but I can ride.
So when I said I rode a bike again it was slightly misleading. It was a spinning bike at the gym. I am working my way back onto a road bike. Today I was checking to see that I could bend forward using my hips. It worked. I rode for 30 minutes and it felt great. Now, 5 hours later, I'm hurting but that's to be expected. The only thing I need now to ride is a new helmet. Any recommendations?
Till next time

The life of a dog
-What goes through a dogs head on a day to day basis?
-What is the most important thing to a dog?
-Do dogs have friends? People friends? Dog friends?
-Do dogs taste their food? If so what does it taste like? Does it taste better than the poo they eat for dessert?
My quest is to understand the life of a dog so I can be a better owner(I know matt she's really your dog, but where the hell have you been for the last two months?). What I think the dog is thinking is probably not right at all most of the time. Sometimes though its right on.
The times I'm right are when she is looking out the window towards ellie, elly, L-E, however you spell it, once she spots her allez get on the chair right next to me, looks at me, whimpers, and stomps her feet. It is the cutest thing in the world. I know when she does this that she wants to play with elly. This answers my question of friends.
That's the only question I have an answer to. I haven't yet tasted her dog food, or figured out whether the Tigger she plays with or the chair she sleeps in is more important. Maybe its time with her friend that is most important. Maybe its making me get wet trying to get the ball she drops near the bank of the pond. Until I learn to speak dog these questions will go un-answered. It is something to think about though.

My Second First Time
For the last 3 and a half months I have been as stiff as a bored. Not like that, well sometimes like that but while the bones were fusing in my back I was not allowed to bend or twist. Although I am not allowed to twist until I see the doc again in just over a week, I did bend forward in physical therapy yesterday.
It was pathetic. I was hootin and hollerin with excitement as a bent forward about...2-3 inches. So its meager at best, BUT IT'S PROGRESS.
The rest of my life has been the same. Nothing exciting going on, just waiting for the golf course to close and to find a winter or year round job.
Just for good graces here's a pic to look at. Its coming!
