Soggy Saga Soaked with Success – My MS150 Story
Posted On Monday, September 11th, 2006 By David Veatch
Thank you again, all of you who contributed pledges to the MS150 in my name. My goal was a modest $200, and thanks to you, I earned a (to my mind) considerably less modest $405. I had no idea the generosity would be so great. Thank you again, very much. The ride really starts for me on Thursday afternoon, when I notice my throat starting to get that achy – need to get to the doctor quick – feeling in it. Swallowing starts to hurt, the head starts to get a little pressurized… you know the drill. Perfect health all summer, and two days before the ride I’ve spent all season training for, I get sick. I’d like to speak to the author of my life about his sense of humor. Not sure I like the twist it’s taking. I stay home on Friday to rest, and over the course of the day I *will* the sick to a manageable level… enough so that come Saturday morning at 4:45am, I can swallow with almost no pain. I figure at this point that riding with a little pain is nothing compared to living with MS, so… RIDE ON!! I’ve been training more »
