Sorry Ron about your appendix etc. How did you know that it burst? Did you have 
surgery?

Ive had some setbacks these past few years. My appendix burst which set into 
motion a set of events that I would have never expected, then my dad got 
meningitis and hurt his back . I had to teach my mother to come in and help out 
.My Rio Dragonfly handcycle never let me down though, every evening this summer 
I was able to put on my ipod, connect my handcycle and ride my stress away. I 
got to about 250 miles this summer then my left elbow got a severe case of 
bursitis. I iced and used a compression sleeve which got me a few more months 
but I had to quit just over a week ago for fear of doing permanent damage to 
the elbow. I love exercise and the high you get after. it also helps with 
depression and dealing with challenges
