I think that my riding days may be over, unless my spine surgeon can work some PFM on my back. I'm at the point now that I can barely crawl into bed. It has been nothing but bad things happening since We got back from our East Coast trip. Got back home on a Thursday. Friday morning woke up not feeling well,
Went to Urgent care was told I had a sinus infection and pneumonia, given antibiotics. Saturday not bad until around 2 PM then my kidneys started acting up. Felt like someone was stabbing me in the back on both sides for about 2 hours. Went to bed and got up around 4 to go to the bathroom, went to get back in bed and was so weak I could not pull myself back into bed. Tried for about a half an hour to get back into bed and finally ended up on the floor. My feet were so dry I just kept slipping on the hard wood floor. After trying to get up and no making it I just laid on the floor and wet to sleep. after about 2 hours my wife gets up and I get her attention (my voice was so low she could not hear me in the other room). She tried to get me up and couldn't, Called our son he tried to get me up and couldn't. did get me half sitting up against the footboard of the bed.
Called paramedics, the came and this one Paramedic said are you ready to get up and I said yes. He grabbed me around my chest from the front side and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the gurney chair. got me to the hospital and was diagnosed with a UTI that had gotten into my kidneys and then into my blood stream. Treated in the hospital with some pretty strong antibiotics for 4 days and was released with a 14 day supply of antibiotics completed those. while taking that round of antibiotics, I was in a traffic accident which jacked up my back again. I was following a car that was slowing down to make a right turn into a parking lot of a 7-11 store, I was doing probably less than 5 MPH when I was hit from behind by a young lady driving a Jeep Wrangler. Pushed the rear hatch of my Chevy Traverse in about 2 feet. Found out a couple days ago it was totaled. She was doing anywhere from 35 to 40 MPH. Last week I had a relapse from the SEPSIS ended up back in the hospital again. Given a new regiment of Antibiotics.
The main reason I don't want to give up riding is I just spent 10 grand to put a new 131 stage IV motor in my trike. Only have about 420 miles on the motor, Hasn't been on the dyno yet for tuning. Mechanic won't dyno it until it has more than 500 miles and has had the oil changed in it.
