Recovery
My pain is with me always.
It is the last thing I feel before I fall asleep,
and the first thing I feel when I wake up.
When I get up from this chair,
it’ll take me a minute to gather myself.
The pain will be there.
It is always there,
waiting for me.

My only pain today is the headache I have from too many beers watching the game last night. That and schweaty balls, but that’s not pain; that’s just annoying.

[...] I saw this today at DrunkCyclist.com and was inspired to write a post of my own. Not poetry, mind you, just something inspired by what Big Jonny had to say. [...]

Dude, no it won’t. Don’t think that way. Your pain is a house guest who you will eventually send packing.

What Eric R said…
After a 2 year hiatus I am finally back on the bike. It started out with 5 min rides on the trainer, then the short commute to and from work or a ride around the block with my son. The training wheels came off last August. He’s now riding some of the first single-track I ever knew. There has been many dark days and many tears shead by both myself and my wife due to my back issues but with some life-style changes made, Im now training for an 8 hour relay in mid July with the same guys I used to do the 24hr events with. Im nowhere close to being where I was but it feels good to be on a bike. Re-hab is a hidious bitch-goddess. I hate doing it but it keeps me walking upright and on 2 wheels. Re-hab also keeps the wife happy…;)

I can’t speak for a back injury, but for the Ti-fortified leg I certainly feel the pain in the AM. My first couple hours of the day are rather uncomfortable. Shit, I need to get back on the bike…
