The change begins

A couple days ago my brother hooked me up with a new Mountain Bike. The last couple days I've been hammering it per say. Leaving the Demon behind if you will. Honestly its the first time I've felt human in 7 months. Getting out in the mountains again, the best I can, it's like a bird with a broken wing, wrangling turns with one arm. Low impact on the lower extremities. Getting used to speed and mental engagement. I've been smiling.

One of the most difficult things with this has been finding a means to ventilate. Instead of hitting the Canmore Hoe or getting loaded, bar fights climbing kept me out of trouble so the Demon couldn't take hold. This mountain bike thing just might be able to hold it at bay. We'll see.

Update on the Arm. Non yet, but the time is coming close. The next few months are going to say a lot. The pain is getting worse, not sure if thats a good sign but I guess pain is better than nothing.
Will keep apprised.
