WorldRider and World Rider updates.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue, USA /by allanMy apologies for not getting an update posted since the beginning of this month. But I’ve been making progress on my rehab and fortunately have had the pleasure of entertaining visitors.

Miah Makes It!
/0 Comments/in Argentina, Chile, South America, Travelogue /by allanI was a bit worried when I heard from Jeremiah on Sunday: I crossed the Straights of Magellan on a 3-hour ferry ride yesterday: I am now officially on the island of Tierra del Fuego.

/0 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanI’m getting tired of sleeping, pain killers and doing nothing. Some say I should relish in my down time. I’d like to spice it up. I’m coming along. The nights are the hardest. Between pain medicine wearing off and my leg immobile for hours while I sleep, I wake up stiff and in pain. A […]
Two Weeks.
/2 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanHad my first doctor’s appointment today; a week and a half after surgery. He carefully unraveled the gauze around the splint his team put on me in the operating room while revealing some nasty blood stains that caused me to turn away from the view of my own appendage. I don’t like blood. I don’t […]
