Home and healing

I made it back home to Boulder Friday night despite the weather in KC doing its best to keep me there. They had a tornado in the vicinity just before our plane was scheduled to take off and security herded us all to the bottom level of a parking garage. I'm not sure about the engineering merits of that place, but I didn't feel all that safe inside it. Anyway, after a few minutes, we were no longer at risk, so Bryan had to push me in my wheelchair back in to the airport and through security once again. Thanks for all the patience, Bryan! I couldn't have made it back without your help.

We finally landed in Denver pretty close to schedule and just a short drive later, we were back home. I had one more stop to the night - a quick trip to the boulder hospital ER to confirm that the shortness of breath I was having was just because of the chest bruising.

That was the trip back home. It was a lot more relaxing and normal going over the weekend. I was addicted to watching the live coverage of the Tour of Missouri from my computer. Yea VDV! Mission accomplished. I still remember the team meeting before the first stage. We got what we came for.

Now, I have a lot of time to myself to heal up as fast as possible. Its a little harder to come up with things to do when you can't spend 5 hours out on the bike. Driving myself somewhere is out of the question. At least the weather is great right now. I'll have to enjoy the outdoors, nearby at least.

Thanks for all the support everyone!
