Well…as you know, I’ve been fighting some pretty severe back pain from riding the bike outdoors in the high winds we get out here and using my heating pad on it three times a day to just be able to move at all…but did that stop me from going out into the wind today? Of course not…but the pleasant surprise from it is that, while I still have some pain, it’s nowhere near as bad as it has been and I haven’t even had to heat it yet…will probably do that later just to stay ahead of the pain…I did take an ibuprofen before I got on the bike this morning since I’ve been searching for a solution to this pain I’ve had for more than a month now and I’ll try anything to be able to get up off the couch without wincing…so I’ll take any little progress I can get…and hope the progress holds…go USA!
