C’mon now Ted. WTF? Why are you looking to Emanuale when Charlie Sheen could clearly get you back on the bike more quickly?

Just do what Charlie Sheen did. Close your eyes and, in a “nanosecond,” you’ll be “winning.” I mean, you’ll make Alberto Contador and even your own teammates Ivan Basso and Vincenzo Nibali look like “droopy-eyed, arm-less children.”

If that doesn’t work, then please proceed with your prescribed treatments and I hope that this will help you get back to your vital role in helping Liquigas-Cannondale riders win races just as you did at the Giro di Sardegna.

Get well soon!
Steve

Ah Ted, you’re so young, you’re gonna heal right up. News from home region: we’re just on the cusp of sugar season here. Gonna finish up tapping this weekend. Maple goodness will be boiling soon. Weather’s still cold and sleety crap. Snow or green grass is my motto. Rooting for you. You’ll be back at it soon enough…

It must be so cool to lead the pace at the front of the peloton. Best wishes for getting back out there soon.

TK – Glad to hear you are on the mend. Having to sit back when all you want is to get out and ride is always rough. Hope to read about your road adventures soon! On another note, the soup sounds delish. Are you aware that Hannaford Inspiration’s has a Pumpkin Spice Butter? The wife is huge fan of pumpkin (she even went so far as to name a cat after it) was excited to see that I’d bought some of the butter. We had used on some chicken the other night and it was delish. If you haven’t tried it before I recommend you grabbing some next time your back in New England.

Get well soon Ted! Better to agonize over a few missed races now than starting to early and needing surgery later on in the season…
but it does Suck. Wear knee warmers in Belgium!

“With that idea stewing in the back of my mind…”
Bonus points for good wordplay.

Knees can suck. Get better!

Hope that the riding gets to be more frequent and the knee is back to 100% in no time. Let us know how the soup turned out, its sounds awesome!

No wearing of the suck pants for going to the doctor! You’d have ‘em on if you did NOT go! I did the suck pants while training for a marathon and it turned into having a hip scope, which on the positive side, I can tell you with some degree of certainty when it will rain.
Interesting to hear about lasers for treatment of swelling. I still have my bone growth stimulator from 5 years ago when I did a number on my foot.
I think there’s a certain amount of RICE, positive thinking, prayer, pumpkin soup and courage in seeking treatment and getting better.
And, it’s always good to check to see if you’re preggo every once in a while
Thanks for sharing, love the blog and can’t wait to see you back in top form!
Cheers!
