Ghoulies October: GHOULIE CRUSHERS! (Page 60)

rnihill - 2010-10-21 10:19 AM Wait, I do have one more comment on the subject...  is it bad that my first question about recovery time if I do have the surgery is "How long till I can bike again?", not  "How long until I can type at work"?

TriAya - 2010-10-21 12:37 PM I made a vague attempt to put my bike trainer together.

This thing is in complete pieces. I mean, there is not ONE bolt, nut, screw, or anything else in place. Even the magnetic drum is in pieces.

The instruction manual does NOT assume it is all in pieces. It has, count 'em, SIX steps to put this thing together.

There are thirty different kinds of pieces (not counting multiples of the same piece, and certainly not counting all the connecting equipment like screws and bolts and wingnuts and oh geez Louise).

I'm going to go with a holistic approach. I am going to Google an image of the whole trainer. Then I'm going to put it together according to how it looks. I mean, that's how you do it with Legos, right???

rnihill - 2010-10-22 12:38 AM Hmmm.. and I wonder if aerobars would be more comfortable?  If so, I might just have to invest.  Doctors orders to take pressure off the wrist, right? 

TriAya - 2010-10-21 12:41 PM

I'm sorry

More comfy, yes, less pressure, yes, but you'll still be on the hoods a lot and with STI shifting, you're still putting pressure on the wrist every time you shift. Oh dear ... this is the right wrist, isn't it?

That's exactly how we made a windmill out of Tinker Toys the other night!  Of course, I didn't have to sit on a bike on the windmill when we were done...

Yeppers...  Maybe it's good I'm trying to get fixed up in the off season.  Maybe this will be good for my running?

pdbman - 2010-10-21 12:47 PM
Doing OK. How about you? 

TriAya - 2010-10-21 12:47 PM No idea why I keep DPing. It's not just because I'm a post-count whor3, honest.

I LIKE NEW DRESSES!

I see you've recovered one of your pink stars!

TriAya - 2010-10-21 12:58 PM

I have I have! Now it all fits again.

Have fun with your workouts! (Isn't that the point? What's with all this health and fitness stuff?)

rnihill - 2010-10-21 11:07 AM
Stacie, that does not sound fun at all.  First and foremost, take care of yourself today!

TriAya - 2010-10-21 1:09 PM *sulk* don't wanna go to bed. wanna stay up and play on BT.

WHY is it the animals are all going apeshyte at 1 in the morning? They are running pell mell around the house, chasing each other, biting tails, yowling, yarfing, going for my ankles ... they're all nutz.

GI issues aren't fun. I get really apprehensive if my tummy is feeling a little off. I would hate to be out and about if an emergency came up. 

QueenZipp - 2010-10-21 11:05 AM got my swim and upper body strength in this morning.
still an unhappy camper so that's why i am not saying a whole lot these days
