Well, this road trip will definitely be blog worthy. And my
last ride in a while. At least riding doesn’t involve walking (or using this
blasted crutches).
Doctor just called and I have a complex displaced tear in my
knee. And some flipped something (bucket). Scheduling surgery because wearing
the gristle off the bone doesn’t seem too good. They say only 4-6 week’s
recovery, so Michigan golf trip may still be a go. Scheduling the surgery for
the week of May 9.
Tony is having to do all of the work prepping for the trip
(at least I am an advanced packer and packed before the knee went caput on
Sunday – see Tom, Paul, Pete – planning is a good thing). He’s been awesome (of
course) driving me around, picking me up off the floor (no, not the whiskey),
cooking for me and taking care of me. I’m so glad I have Tony.
We just did a test run and I can successfully (not
gracefully) get on the Harley. And successfully (not gracefully) get in the
F-150 (with the aid of a bucket of nails – improvisation). Mike is coming with
his bike this afternoon to load them up. Tony does have to go to the doctor to
pick up the “book” on my surgery. Not sure it sounds like a good read. Maybe
Tony will read it for me.
Tony even made me a little crutch purse to hold stuff so I don’t
need a purse. And I found my 2008 NIRI SWRC backpack so I also have a backpack
on the road trip for stuff.
Sadly, I’m putting up my sticks and cleaning out my golf
vehicle for a few weeks. Maybe I’ll find time to clean my clubs while they take
a little break.
For all who don’t think that golf isn’t a sport, well, this
injury proves that it is. Steph, I didn’t do this to sympathize with you even
though we both went to Davidson College (and you’re a big golf nut like me).
And it did happen five minutes after your injury on Sunday. Golden State
Warriors, you’d better win while we’re sitting the bench.
