Shortened Season

[cheesy]

No, I didn't drop the CX again. Didn't blow it up and didn't get hit by a car again, either. Nope, none of that. Just paid a visit to the podiatrist to get a couple things checked out.

Doc looks at my foot and first wants to know how I walk without limping, and second, why I'm not in more pain than I am. Get my foot x-rayed and the Doc shows me what 'mods' need to be done and says that there is an awful lot of arthritis in those joints, "you sure you're not in a lot of pain?"

The end result of the visit is that I'm having surgery on my left foot in early June and will be laid up for about eight weeks. No CX, no bicycle, no Jeep for eight freaking weeks. No sense springing for a Ural now, either. Just a boot, then an air cast on my foot during the hottest part of the year.
