Continuing to improve

Last week I posted about the amazing turnaround in my RA since straring Tocilizumab nearly two weeks ago.

This past week I have managed to cycle to Troon from my home in Prestwick which was a 9 mile round trip in absoulutely glorious weather. A few days before this I broke the ice with 4 mile cycle.

I did have an incident on the cycle path right beside Royal Troon Golf course when I stopped to retreive my phone which had slipped off. I stopped, threw my leg over the seat, caught it on the seat and went down with a THUMP onto the side of cycle path opposite the golf course which had loads of nettles and gravel. On falling I injured my pride, my right wrist and my legs are covered in black and blue bruises.

I could not get up! Two very nice cyclists - dad and daughter stopped and helped me and we had a nice chat, turns out they live in the same street I use to live in. I got their name and address and today I delivered a thank you present. An edible one.

Still wearing splint on wrist and pride has recovered lol! Wont stop me, now that I am back in the saddle i've booked cycling holiday in September!

Optimistic or what
