Last bike rides for at least a week - MADE Bike Show PDX

When it rains, it pours.

I went in to see the ENT for Long Covid-related dystonia. While I was there, I complained about a sore in my mouth that came on in February, but didn’t heal like a cold sore. They biopsied it and discovered “pre-cancerous cell change” there.

(NOT cancer, don’t freak.)

I have appointments set up for vocal PT later this fall.

And next Monday, I am having surgery to have the spot removed from my tongue.

3-4 weeks healing time, painkillers and lots of soft, bland, lukewarm food (hello oatmeal!).

I plan to hit Bike Happy Hour and The MADE Bike Show this week, before I'm too loopy to ride anywhere.

The MADE Show is being produced by bike stalwart Billy "SoupHorse" Sinkford, and will feature over 200 exhibitors. I plan to be at there Sunday morning, before it gets stupid hot. Tickets are still available at the link above. Portland bike lovers -- come on down!
