Ugg – caveman

Not Ugg boots – need i say more

Umm – have you considered that it may be hand problem translating to arms and chest. Numbness in hands sound like median nerve compression – carpal tunnel syndrome to you and me. Easy to fix minor op. In the meantime try flat section handlebars – distributes pressure more evenly, and go see your doc.

I totally get it. It’s just that a patch. It won’t last forever.

As for myself?
Back problems.
Arm problems.
Asthma trouble from all the painkillers they’ve given me over the years.
Every hill is agony.
Every downhill descent is nirvana.
I just keep on going – waiting for those moments of exhiliration.
Giving up is never an option – for me it makes me fight harder.

So have a rest, and come back to it, you appreciate it more in the end.
