Hi there.

So I was all super excited to come back to the blog after my Christmas and New Years’ holidays. Because I have a lot of fun things I want to talk about, mostly in the form of catching up on my ride reports, and also in the form of getting a collaborative / competitive weight-loss thing going for the year.

But life has had a slightly different plan for me right now.

Remember how I talked about a MRSA infection I dealt with a couple months ago? Yeah, well, evidently that game’s not over. During the past ten days, I’ve been fighting a new one, and today I finally had to get a little bit of cutting done on me.

So I’m not at my best right now.

And I’ll be spending quite a bit of time at the doctor’s each day for the next week or so. 

What’s surprising to me is how exhausted I feel right now. And it’s not the good kind of exhausted I get from riding. It’s more of a too-exhausted-to-think, too-exhausted-to-try kind of exhausted. 

I think I’m not putting this very well, for the same reason.

I’m going to get the rest I need now, and I’ll be back tomorrow.

Honest.

    I hope you’re on the mend and much better soon. I’m deep into Fatty’s Blog withdrawal, and it ain’t pretty!

    I’m sorry your leg is still in need of fixing but I don’t want to hear you wuss out of any races because of it.

    I’m going to write this week, Honest! Italy, and The Old Man at Leadville. Nothing should get you on the mend faster than a story written by me!

    Take your time getting well Elden, I’ve got lots to say.

    Take care of yourself. I’ll just read your e-books that you gave away before xmas while you heal.

    Oh dear. How worrying for you and Lisa. Isn’t she a nurse? No doubt she is smothering you with care and attention. Get well soon.

    People who regularly weigh themselves and keep track of their progress in a journal are more likely to lose weight. Losing fat is easy if you follow the right things, hope this site helps

    I nearly snarfed my coffee reading the suggestion in the comment by Ms. Laila. LOL

    Feel better Fatty and remember…scars are tattoos with better stories.

    MRSA is the pits, Fatty, and it definitely does leave one feeling run down and awful. If your doctor doesn’t have a strong background in dealing with MRSA, you may want to see an Infectious Disease specialist.

    Well, that’s crappy. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
