Ride to Rhodes Epilogue

I am exactly 2 weeks on from the finish of that epic adventure.  I think back on it a lot.  What a crazy amazing adventure.

So my knee is healing slowly.  I saw the doctor on the Monday (I skipped the emergency room at the hospital!).  I went on 7 days of antibiotics (Augmenton).  It appears I have picked up an allergy to Penicillin as I got a reaction to these antibiotics but more moderate.
Doug cleaned my knee every night and dressed it for 10 days.  It is a really ugly wound - a very deep open wound but it is improving.
I was so tired the week after the ride.  My body was very run-down.  I got mouth ulcers all around my mouth on the one side which made me very miserable.  I dosed up on multi-vitamins and Vit C and slept most afternoons.
This week I have been much more normal in terms of energy and the ulcers have healed thank goodness.

The whip that I had worked to hard for was half eaten by Shilo (one of my dogs).  She LOVED the chewy sticky hide it was made from.  At least she left the pretty bead section for me.

Sometimes I wonder if I will every grow out of these crazy adventures.

I have my doubts........
