I am just not physically able to ride right now but I'm slowly getting better with less body pain, headaches, spinning etc. At one stage I was contemplating going to my lesson but the day before I removed my sock and a 2x5cm strip of skin came off with it! Deep enough to make me bleed! Bizarre stuff. I was joking to Steve that I'm going to be diagnosed with lepracy next!
It left me unable to wear shoes as it was place right in a spot my runners or boots rubbed on it. The pain was too annoying to concentrate and my body pain makes me walk like an old lady sometimes anyway so I didn't need that on top of it. I'm pleased to say that I wore shoes yesterday for the first time since it happen and all went well. I was even able to keep my skin!
I tried Teddy out on about 200 gms of Speedi-beet yesterday and he loved it. Must be very palatable as he came back to lick the bowl. As he's not really in any work I will be just supplementing his diet with the stuff that I have here. They claim that its good for their gut with a pro biotic and has high calcium levels with a low sugar level, among other things, but these are the things I was interested in with Teddy's arthritis. I know joints and high sugar don't mix so I feel its best to keep him in check, particularly as he's only in the early stages so I hope we can prevent further damage. He already gets a multivitamin supplement so he should do well on this.
