I went for my second bike ride today. It was quite a long ride, about 30 minutes either way. I was trying to get a kick stand for my bike but the place I went to didn't have any. I did however replace the lights for my bike because I didn't have a back light and my front light was inadequate. I surprised myself but making it to the shop and back again with only one stop, and that was on the way back and because I was so dehydrated. Luckily I did think to take a bottle of water with me.
The result of my bike ride was a hunger that lasted until dinner time. And some pain in my legs and also my shoulder and thumb. My thumb - which is on the hand that I broke the bone in - is the only pain left over from my broken bone. But the bumpiness of the ride was the big problem that left my body aching, especially those bits that were sore already.
I had a phone call from the psychologist I am going to see in a couple of weeks today. Apparantly she is going on sick leave for two weeks or is currently on sick leave and will be coming back to work the week I'm due to see her. She told me that if I skipped an appointment and didn't let her know within 24 hours there would be a charge of $25 payable to the doctors surgery. I'm in two minds about whether I want to go and see her or not. I don't trust easily and it's sitting in my mind that I only get a few sessions with her under the plan the way it is, and they aren't going to be enough. I really need long term psychotherapy or psychology. But, the crisis team are making their refusal to accept me plain.
