 Poster: A snowHead

Masque, sorry to hear about your injury: you now have your own thread!
Best wishes for your recovery. Take the physio seriously, and you'll be back in action for next season (though not, I think, for France this month).

PG/ Johnpim: Longest trip this month is bed to bog and back (seriously!), As the surgeon said "that's a proper injury, now would you please lie down here Now, 'cos I can't understand how you're still upright" – apparently I’d learned to compensate by using other bits and pieces. When I see him next week I’ll get more data. Had an interesting visit from the pathlab this morning, I’ve a haemoglobin level of 16.8 and I had to sit there and answer a bunch of inane questions about my lifestyle (wine, chips, cheese), they thanked me, said I was very lucky and wandered off – so what’s that about? Mind you, the last time they got that excited they thought I had typhoid and dragged me off to an isolation ward (I just keep all my travel vaccinations up to date and some are old military ones so I’ve antibody markers for some odd diseases). 
PS. I ALWAYS take physio seriously - it's the only reason I can still walk.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Masque, your haemoglobin is normal , but in the upper half of normal due to all the time you spend up mountains on planks. Suffolk is of course full of unhealthy people on poor diets so the path lab is not used to getting blood from fit virile men such as yourself. The questions were probably all to see if the technician wanted to go out with you or not.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Fit! Virile! someone's taking the p¡ss. I think most of my stats are down to the work I've done to build basic fitness after my last major stack (worse than this), I was really chuffed to be back to 99% blood/Ox.
What's really cheezing me is I was just getting back to a weight where I could start running again without damaging joints. I’ll take a couple of weeks for basic wound healing and then start back into an aerobic programme – dam! I hate rowing.
