Off the Radar


For 2 weeks i have been off the training radar with the BMMC as work and the lack of sleep with the new son has pushed the body enough let alone any additional exercise.

Hopefully next week every starts to settle down and i can free up a few hours to go bush.

Last weeks conference at Coffs did see 4 mornings surfing, tough days

Loosing my wisdom but gaining a son

WHAT A WEEK!, Friday before last I got home feeling good after the morning ride and a day at the office, had dinner and the mouth started to feel weird, so a couple of panadol and off to bed, a few hours later the jaw started to swell more panadol and back to bed, and this went on until the morning panadol every 4hrs with very limited sleep. As the sun came up i started to ring all the dentists in the yellow pages and got in 1.45pm Saturday, walked in had an xray and in the chair around 2.30pm before he open my month he advised i had a chronic infection under a wisdom tooth and it was starting to go down my throat so 2 teeth had to come out. He did chuckle and said at least it is not acute only chronic otherwise I would be on a drip for the night. Instead strict instructions were given not to stress the body (less hours at work and no exercise) otherwise the inflection may grow and effect the bone.

Once the teeth were out and he had milked out all the puss from the inflection (which took around 20mins) i was released to go home but only got to the front desk as i opted to lay on the floor for a while as i was light headed, after about 10min got in the car and drove to the pharmacy for the 4 bottles of drugs and then home to bed before the local wore off.

5 days of R&R drove me mad, So wifey through in so action late in the week has i was requested to take her to her last baby scan, where the doc advised she we be induced tomorrow so she could have him naturally as he is a big boy. After being at the hospital all thursday night, on Friday Archer Kingsley Price was born 1.50pm 3.44kg / 7lb9o.

Hopefully now life will settle down and training can wind up again.
