Spring has sprung in the Northwest. 70 degrees and sunny today. My favorite activities are riding, golfing and boating, all of which are best enjoyed in the spring/summer. So, Tuesday I was doing some volunteer work. Moving a big rock and snapped my Achilles Tendon. Surgery next week. Doc says recovery and therapy will be a minimum of 4 months and more than likely 6 months (don't heal as fast at 69 as the young bucks). Well, spring and summer are now shot. Hopefully I'll be recovered for my annual 5K ride in September.

Alright, my whining like a little baby is done and no, it doesn't make me feel any better.

 

Wow, that can't suck enough, man.

 

yup sucks, just had knee surgery myself.

 

Man, sorry to hear. Keep a positive attitude and you will heal quicker. Sounds like you are someone who sees the glass as half full. Make the best of it. Tim

 

Wow, that's a bummer.

You could always get a th...

Never mind.

Good luck with your recovery.

 

Your title hit it on the head...that REALLY sucks. Take it easy, don't push it and maybe you'll heal faster and get a month or two of riding in.

 

Here’s hoping for a quick recovery. ......no doubt be careful.

 

Now that just blows, heal fast

 

On the bright side, look at how much money you'll save on green fee's. Good luck with your recovery.
