Re: Not sure what to do !!!

There must have been an incredible sense of freedom riding that bike @Appleblossom, finding places without a GPS is probably a rare skill to have these days! What main difference did you see in riding here from overseas?

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Helmet wearing, going slower due to terrain, and watching out for real chickens on the road in Thailand and Indonesia. They were big enough to throw a bike off balance, even tho I was on a road/trial bike. I never hit anything but came close a few times. I road once on opposite side of the road, Greece?? that was being on alert and double think mode. They say you get used to it but I was not o/s for long enough. I have a tencdency to hypervigilance and riding probably cemented that. I also rode under the influence of all sorts of things. Not meaning to be foolish but always pitting myself against the challenges I met. Lucky to be alive at all really. But those days also made me feel close to other humans all over the world, so somehow protected me from the paranoia of schizophrenia, as the only time I felt that way was always drug induced, and not a typical part of myself or the people around me.

Sounds like she's in the best place atm @Shaz51 I don't think anyone really likes hospital so don't blame her for wanting to come home sooner rather then later

Ouch, poor mum @Shaz51 Sounds like hospital is definitely the right place for her at the moment. How are you doing with that news? Sending love
