#42 - It’s been quiet for a while

Right after my first rides on Rouvy, I got pretty quiet. No more posts for a while, and that has nothing to do with Rouvy. I’m actually pretty impressed by the riding environment that app offers.
Instead, my life was turned upside down pretty roughly. My father’s health turned for the worse and I wanted to help him wherever I could. A long series of test were performed by several doctors, to find out what is going on exactly. By now, we know it is cancer, and a first operation has been successful. Another one is planned in a couple of weeks, and after that we hope other treatments will commence as well.

Both my father and I are pretty realistic people. We understand what kind of curveball life has thrown us. My mom had cancer back in the 60’s, and luckily medical science has improved exponentially since then. It’s hard to say what’s coming our way at this point in time. The only thing I can say with some confidence, is that riding the trike is just not my main focus these days. I barely have the time, and when I do, I often feel like resting more then getting a solid workout in.
These days I’m managing most of may fathers care and that takes some energy.

Not working out means I’m taking a step back. And it seems stress has a pretty bad influence on my blood glucose as well. I’m keeping a close eye on my evolution, and I’m making sure things don’t get out of hand of course. But for now I feel my dad comes first.
I may post again soon, or it may take a while. That’s hard to say at the moment. But Wheelybeardo is still very much a thing for me. I may not be riding these days, but I am working on the website behind the scenes. You may see some changes here and there as time goes on. I’m still dreaming big. I still want to go on epic roadtrips with the trike. And it will happen. Just not today…
