Lesson Learned

As everyone knows, when you have fibromyalgia you have to exercise to help reduce all the pain you experience.I go to physical therapy once a week, they have me do several exercises, and make me get on the equipment for five minutes at a time, then switch to another one.

Physical therapy does not bother me one bit, it helps alot with the pain, more then my pain killers do sometimes.And I'm also getting a great workout at the same time. My favorite equipment is the life fitness stationary bike,it gives me such an amazing workout, and helps prevent my FMS leg cramps.

When I'm not at physical therapy, I do a little working out myself. I have a super lightweight bikes that I ride daily, I need it light otherwise my back would start hurting right after lifting it off the rack in my garage.

So last week I went on a long bike ride, I was gone for hours, even got lost. I wasn't paying attention when I was going down a hill and turning a corner, I got hit by a car. I broke a few bones, and Im banged up pretty bad, but the worst part is that my poor bike is ruined.Physical therapy said I would have to wait 5 months before I could go back on any sort of bike.As of right now my fun on wheels is a leg scooter.

Don't stop riding just cause of what happened to me, I was being careless and not paying attention.Also I was super tired from the long bike ride I was on, I just wanted to get home.So always pay attention to traffic,hopefully I learned my lesson enough for the both of us.
