Goodbye from Henry

those safety vests with the big white cross on it do you, some people
would find that a target hard to resist. After gall bladder surgery I
found that if I felt like sneezing or coughing grabbing a pillow and
tightly hugging to my side helped in stopping pain. I think you better
stay on off road bike lanes now, heal fast and don't give em a moving
target.

Gopod grief! When I see a bike I tick off everyone behind me because I go so
slow until I can get around them. What a rotten thing to happen, sigh.

Why would you assume it was God keeping him safe, and not God allowing
the bruising as a wake up call of perhaps even greater perils yet to come?

Lie.
No assumption was made.
It remains a fact that greater harm such as a broken neck could have
happened and that GOD did not allow such greater harm to happen to
Henry.

May GOD renew and strengthen your brain about knowing what is right
(Jeremiah 9:24), Jimmy, so that you would be able to rein in your
deceitful heart (Jeremiah 17:9) which is causing you to continue
sinning.
Amen.

Oh, Henry, you gave me a scare. I am truly sorry about your accident, but I
thought you were leaving us, too. We can't have any more defections. I am
glad your injuries aren't any worse than they are, but cracked ribs, let
alone bruises, are very painful. I hope your friends aren't making your life
miserable by telling you jokes.

You have to get back on that "horse" and ride or you'll be feeling like a pussy
for not doing so.
I'd suggest carrying a baseball bat (or in your case a cricket bat) and
brandishing it when drivers get too close.

Thank you Nicky and all who wished me well. An X-ray showed that I have two
fractured ribs, which explains the shots of pain when I sneeze, cough and
move. Pain is much better now, but not at night when lying down. Shifting
position takes over ten minutes. It makes me appreciate the people here who
keep on posting and giving advice despite their other problems - painful
problems - on top of their diabetes.
This has, understandably thrown my diabetes management way off. This morning
I clocked up my highest fbg since starting Lantus - over 140. This is
despite me not eating anything special the day before, and putting in a
sweaty half hour on the exercise bike on top of my normal doses of Lantus
and Novorapid. This exercise bike routine will take getting used to - to see
what effect it has on my overall bg depending on when I exercise, how much
and at what intensity. I have always said that an exercise bike is no
comparison to the real thing, but now the time has come to change. I prefer
the exercise option to the high likelihood of getting mushed by a car.
I hope I can sleep in bed tonight, and not resort to trying to sleep sitting
in a lounge chair as I did last night. I should hop on the exercise bike
now, but I'm tired.
Thanks once again!
Henry.

I normally don't mind jokes - even about my injuries, but they make me
laugh, and that hurts!
Very oddly, my bicycle ended up only with skewed hadlebars (easily
straightened) and a front wheel slightly out of round. I can fix this easily
enough when I get around to it. I did go to the Police afterwards and
discussed the situation. they said if I made a formal report, they would
have to see the lady who hit me. As the lady was a decent person and quite
distraught about the whole thing (I kept on calming her down, believe it or
not), I decided not to make a formal report.

minor bike rides, including riding on to work straight after the accident,
bent handlebars and all. Riding to work, though? Nah. I'm giving that up as
a bad joke. Mind you, that could be the only known diabetes cure... It's the
pain and broken bones that i don't like.

Glad to hear that you're slowly feeling better. Those darn ribs take a
long time to heal.
You mention feeling that you should hop on your exercise bike, but
you're tired--healing bones takes a lot of energy on top of the
interrupted sleep. I'm not surprised you're getting some high bgs.
Sounds like you're doing all you can, so try not to stress yourself too
much. We all know what stress does to bgs too.

Make the report. If nothing else, it might encourage the authorities to
do stuff; better driver education and training, better roads, etc. Also,
she might have been flustered and panicy for another reason. We recently
had an "unlucky" driver turn out to be a very careless driver that has so
far cost two people their lives in two separate incidents. If they are
bad drivers, and the police have the full picture, then they can deal
with it.

But your chance of having another accident if you cycle to work is now
a bit less since you're a bit more scared. Why stop just when cycling
to work has become safer?

Thanks Michelle,
At work today, against orders from bosses and against better judgement, I
heaved about a dozen 17 inch displays onto then off a trolley. I did it
carefully so as not to stress my ribs. Psychologically it made me feel
great - all manual work does.
I repeated the routine with the exercise bike yesterday. This morning I had
a more respectable fbg of 90, although with Lantus I expect to have it
around 70-75. For many years now I had this theory - probably "half baked"
like many others - that when you try a whole new routine of exercise/diet,
your bg may do something unexpected (go up or down) - until my body gets
used to the new routine.

horse is doing fine.
I read once of a famous person, a keen horse rider, who "at various times
had every bone in his body broken" in riding accidents. My wife got me to
ride a horse once, next to her own ex-racehorse. Trouble was that there is
this "pecking order" amongst horses, and my horse was evidently down in the
scheme of things. All I know is that all of a sudden I found myself
suspended in mid-air with no horse under me. That lasted for a split second
before I came crashing down heavily. Yes, I did get back on that horse. No,
I did not ride again after that.

I can break up my dangers into two groups - those I can do something about,
such as riding slower and giving way, and those I can do nothing about, such
as cars zooming through intersections unexpectedly, sometimes after having
stopped suuposedly to let me pass. The route I take to work has too many of
the latter. Also in heavy morning traffic, it's extra dangerous.

new exercise routine - I do know this is not very technical.
When I used to ride to work 12 kilometres each way a year ago, it was
relatively high speed riding, occasionally doing over 40 kilometres per
hour. the current ride to work is not only slightly less, but at a much
lower speed, largely due to the bad condition of the roads and the many
intersections. I have already been questioning the benefit it had on my
diabetes. The accident was the last straw. The routine I've settled down on
with the exercise bike is - about half an hour, ten kilometres, at a setting
of 6, which is sort of two thirds of maximum. I know this doesn't say much,
but it gives you a rough idea. I can do it before or after dinner, even
after taking my normal dose of Novorapid without risking a hypo (I forestall
the hypo by having a fruit before). I end up quite sweaty with the exertion.
My fbg has now been lower - around 70, and if this continues I'll probably
lower my dose of Novorapid from 12 units back to ten which I was on before I
reduced my bike riding to work last year.
Henry.

G'day Nicky. Yes, I also have my bike set up near the telly. Boredom is a
big problem. That's the problem with the exercise bike - you can always
stop. With the real bike, I had to keep on going. On another note, tomorrow
evening there is a "workshop" set up by our local city council on "how to
improve bicycle riding facilities". The meeting is in a hall only a few
hundred yards from where I was hit by the car. Of course I'll go - I'd have
to be a hypocrite not to.
