On November 30, I was riding my bicycle. It has been a daily part of my exercise routine. Yoga, run and play with MaggieMae, ride my bike, and swim. In between events, I would read the news in the Boston Globe, NY Times, Washington Post, Guardian, and other news outlets, e.g., the Hill. Tuesday was just a routine day until I tried to pull a tissue from my pocket to blow my nose while riding the bike. I got the tissue, but the procedure knocked me off balance and onto the street. After getting my bearings, I rode home and then went to the pool, but after three laps, it was apparent that I could not do well without two legs supporting my effort. On the next day, I noticed that my upper leg was worse. After eight hours at the South Shore Hospital on Dec 2 with X-rays and CT Scan, I got the diagnosis of a fractured hip that would not require surgery. Now, under the rubrics of Physical Therapy, using a walker, monitored closely by Joan, I am continuing to LIVE IN THE MOMENT! Thinking about the incident does no good to my well-being. Nor thinking about the uncertainty of how long this process will continue before I take Maggie out to walk and play or go to the gym to swim and use their stationary bike. It will be what it will be! I will Live in the Moment!
