My Recumbent Days

I got nowhere with Garmin support. Will try to reload software to Edge.

Now the Edge 500 doesn't show calories burned. What a pain.

This morning I couldn't ride more than 5 miles do to my ER visit yesterday, I am weak to say the least.

I hate complaining but today's ride was horrible! I have had Nausea from my medication and with the wind things got bad.

I feel I have my Garmin Edge 500 sensor problem fixed, it took the weekend. My ride was great today, but windy and humid.

I reset my Garmin Edge 500 to factory specs, but still having problems with the Ant+ speed sensor. The Garmin can't find it.

I am feeling some what better, still a way to go.

I was going to ride today, but I didn't because my back is still giving me problems and the wind gusts are very strong. If there was no wind gusts I would have rode as my back feels good on the trike, but with strong winds I thought I might be putting to much pressure on my back trying to beat the wind.  I know my mental attitude is to push myself no matter what, so trying to be cautious I decided to forgo the fun and just exercise at home. Tomorrow after my allergy shots I will ride for sure weather permitting.

Well I was back in the saddle today, and it was most enjoyable. Yes there was some pain and discomfort, but I made it.

Well the worst thing happened after stopping the medication for my Acid Reflux and starting a Homeopathic herbal system. I became extremely nauseous and totally sick. I got so bad I need a emergency shot of Tigan which didn't work, so I have been sick for days. I finally went back to my doctor who put me back on a Proton Pump Inhibitor which is the same type of medication I am trying to avoid as it is capable of causing bone fractures. During this period I was vomiting and pulled my back out so I can barely walk yet alone exercise or ride the trike. I feel totally out of control of the situation. It will take a few days and I will be back on track. The first thing I did was make an appointment with a different Gastro doctor for a second opinion, as I want to be off these dangerous medications. I will let you know how thing progress and hopefully get back to what this blog is about.

I am switching from Prescription medications to Homeopathic is going along well, I am hoping it continues as I am tired of the side effects. My last TeraCycle chain tube holder was delivered and installed yesterday and I love it. The chain line is running real smooth now, but might need lube soon.

I rode my usual route and think I did well regardless of my medical issues.
