Here's something my son gave me. I guess as an incentive. It's a video of about 26 minutes of some of the roads we used to ride separately and together above Newberg, Oregon. It's either the camera or his riding style, but the road seems to be a lot flatter than I remember it.

Little has changed this week. Except perhaps that I climb and descend the stairs independently. This of course has made me a bit more overconfident. That combined with impulsiveness caused a bit of a problem this past Tuesday. I was in the office and decided to leave. Instead of standing up and getting my balance, I stood up from the chair grabbed a cane and in my haste I rolled my left ankle. In doing that I was extremely off-balance and executed what I call a controlled collapse. Others would call this a fall. However, in an attempt to lessen the damage I sprained my left wrist. At least it wasn't the good one. 

When I saw Doctor Siler on Friday last. One of the things that we discussed was a splint. He okayed that. Something I have been considering is - and I invite your comments on this - acquiring a recumbent trike. I can get exercise and won't have to worry about balance. What you think? Of course I won't be on the main roads, but I'll ride around this residential area.
