Finally. I finally made a revolution on the bike with my left leg! Two to be exact. One pedaling forward and one pedaling backward. For some reason, pedaling forward has been more difficult. Anyway, I've been very very close for some time but just couldn't make it over the hump. Today I was as close as ever but the left knee just hurts. I remarked to Loren (my driver du jour) that I thought because it hurt I was afraid to force it to a complete revolution. Nate the Physical Terrorist was there near the end of my 10 minutes on the bike and suddenly, voila, I did it. And, not only did I manage to complete the circle backwards but then switched and did it forward. Nate says the goal for next week is 10 revolutions (5 each way). I'll be all over Brent now to get a bike set up for me.
Speaking of Brent, today is his birthday. Unfortunately I'm not in a good position to do much so my family will be going out to Giotti's tonight to celebrate. I'm good for an hour or so but not generally much after that, so we'll see how it goes. Brent is big on celebrating his birthday - the celebration usually goes for 5-7 days if he's left to run amok. Unfortunately this year he'll have to suck it up and celebrate only one day like the rest of us! Happy Birthday Brently.
