It’s been a long journey…7 1/2 months 3 weeks til I was supposed to leave Now I have no idea if I’ll even be able to go November it was just a matter of 6 weeks down No problem…got a book written (yet to get published unfortunately due to other’s lives..sigh) December comes along Should be good to go Ready for an Arizona trip A 6 day race with good friends! Now it’s 8 weeks and things are no better WTF is going on? Ok so maybe I’m just old and it will take longer So, cross Arizona off the books January slides into existence A new year, a new you Isn’t that what people say? Seems the “new” part just passed me by Finally get things checked out by someone “official” Off to physical therapy That will fix everything, right? Nope..a cattle factory – but nice people Physical therapy then screws up my other knee Now I’m gimpy on both hooves Can’t even spell gallop let alone try to March comes blustering in My hero emerges though A medical masseuse that can perform magic Gets me back on the road with a tolerable foot April brings the “hip” Terrie to the world That, is a problem not so easily solved He works and works and I can do more than before Memorial day races come up I can walk many miles I continue to crank out the miles Using my magician in between Training hard, training long 3 weeks to go Oh no Uncertainty raises its ugly head Again Perhaps a femoral neck stress fracture Ortho here we come again Can we get an MRI in time Will I even have the chance to try Uncertainty for the main course Disappointment and despair on the side Fear and regret for dessert…. What will the next 3 weeks bring…..
