Cripes, this season of the year is just too much. Mostly too much food. Yesterday we had a Holiday Lunch with our SVP, who came out to bid farewell to the second tranche of laid off employees, so we had a big spread of Thai food. Then he took us 3 senior managers out to dinner, where I was a Very Bad Boy. Appetizer, salad, entree, AND dessert, along with an Old Fashioned and 1 1/2 IPAs. Uff.
I'mma have to ride a WHOLE LOT to burn THAT off.

Takeaway is the more exercise, the better. Each bin of more exercise (their highest of which was 300 minutes/ week...) had less hospitalization and less death than the one below it.

Little-known fact: "Wyoming" is an ancient native word for "too cold for people". In other regions, that meaning is sometimes expressed as "minnesota" or "wisconson".

My power lifting son’s MRIs show a full tendon rupture of the left quad and a partial rupture on the right quad. See surgeon next week. The docs are really dragging this out considering the pain that he’s in.

Are they doing anything for his pain? Is he mobile (as mobile as one can be - crutches, walker, etc)?

I’m disgusted with the system. Our local orthopedics are generally capable but this whole mess has been handled poorly. Seriously, I’m at a loss for words.

Will be making a liposuction appointment after the new year.

Regarding Annual Strava Stats, Strava says that I’m in the top 2% of users. Either the rest of you guys are slacking off or their statistics suck.

Well, I'm top 5%, so what does that tell you? You're 98th percentile and I'm 95th.

Hopefully the repairs can be done, and I hope they are doing the full pain management protocol.
It makes me angry that law enforcement is running pain management in much of the US.

I just checked out my Strava recap to see what it was all about. Top 6%. Phooey... though I was off the bike much of the last 6 weeks or so (I'm down about 1500 miles from last year). Strava was kind enough to point out that I had a 22mph ride, though.

Back in my youth, I was taught that severed nerves and tendons are not an emergency and when found in a wound just to clean things up and refer to the appropriate clinic in the morning.
