Unable to bike because of side injury

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines  |  December 8, 2014

I was injured during the aborted bike to Real.  I fell in front Save More in Morong.  I was looking at a buildng and I lost my balance.

I tried to grab the steel median but missed it and my left knee hit one of the GI pipes that was part of the median and finally fell on a a 3  feet street sign.  I bruised my left side near the nipple.  It pained so hard especially when I cough, and there was projected pain at the lower back, and at the back opposite the injury.

I had to see a "hilot" yesterday who did a good job of correcting dislocation (there was because I heard snap when he massaged my injured parts.

Because of that I was able to bike till Cardona.

Last Sunday, August 24, 2014, Armin Z and I rode back together home from Morong.  He had an appointment, and I was not fit for the Sierra Madre ride. I had to accept my limitation.

However right after the Callahan ascent, at the Cardona town proper, Armin complained of pain at the left leg rear of knee. He said he must have "ipit" of veins at the left leg (strain)  So we had to bike ascent to LLDA near Montevideo slowly. I suggested one leg pedalling (right only)  In short we manage to ride home and I accompanied Armin to a kumpare, Robert who took care of my sprained big toe which immobilized me.

Unfortunately he was not there.   I understand Armin came back, they had a "hilot"session.   Ruben said in a naughty term "fingering" I suppose Armin's condition was cured?

Two Mondays ago, my foot was swollen and very painful. I could not stand nor take a step. For three days I was disabled.  I could not get up from bed and could not go to work.  And that meant I could not bike, even the trainer.

I suspected that I I had gout, or that I had a big toe injury.  The Sunday before, I climbed Antipolo.  But there was nothing that indicated that my condition would deteriorate that fast.
