What Elly said! And here’s the cyclemeter map. I’m quite pleased that before this recycling trip I cycled to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and back (about five miles each way) and felt reasonably capable on the slope up to Little France. (‘Reasonably capable’ here means staying out of granny gear!)

More whinging about my guts, and some good things… No apologies to anyone for perverting song titles in this post. Continue reading
After Friday’s 16-mile cycle, yesterday was horrible. Random pains in guts and legs, then very poor sleep (from midnight to 2:30, then 6am to 10am in patches) last night. The pains are never severe but they come as sudden, annoying surprises. I’m currently off the antidepressant in preparation for yet another test, so I’m not much fun just now. Continue reading
I wanted to break out of what feels like weeks of inactivity, so I dragged Lev out onto the road yesterday. I pondered several routes, including the Water of Leith and North Edinburgh cycle paths, Holyrood Park, but settled on my ‘extended midnight miles’ route: out and back along the A8 to Newbridge roundabout.

As John Lydon did not write
It’s bleeding hot, looking for bodies.
Nearly injured my pride.
Crazed picnicking in the English countryside.
I’ve been out on the bike a bit. On Tuesday, we cycled to and from Craigleith shopping centre (just under 4 miles.) Yesterday, I cycled with Elly to and from LifesCycle (just over 9·5 miles). I didn’t spin – instead I chatted with Andy and played with Scout, a wee spaniel puppy. I’m slightly embarrassed that I came off while backing out of an over-ambition overtake. Both Lev and I are unhurt, thankfully.
I’ve just received the medication that I need to take in advance of Monday’s colonoscopy. I’m so not looking forward to that part of the process.
A quick update on recent ‘events’. Continue reading
Don’t read on unless you really want to know about my innards. This post is mostly so I can record what happened while I still remember it. Continue reading
Elly’s Tour de Forth souvenir
There are glimmerings of recovery! As mentioned yesterday, I can now sit for a while before guts-ache drives me prone again. I have apparently been more interactive over the past week. (I’m not sure of this – I still think I’m an antisocial so-and-so.) I’ve certainly done more than I could in previous weeks, even though that ‘more’ is still almost nothing. I even have plans to do more towards the great clear-out. And the pain, while still constant (and still moving around unpredictably), is moving from unbearable to very annoying. It was even possible to talk about our much-postponed cycle-adventure this morning without falling into despair. Continue reading
Just to record what’s been happening: I seem to be a bit less shattered at the moment. Continue reading
