urg

depression from lack of exercise kicked in about two days ago and i'm losing my patience with it. but, according to some site on tinternet... this is how my bone is healing in picture form...

Activity, movement, and use: In contrast to the early stages, in the later stages of healing patients' activity is necessary and decisive. Bone fractures are again a good example. Movement, use, and putting weight on the bone stimulate the reconstruction of bone and the realignment of bone layers parallel to the lines of force, ensuring optimal adaptation to the mechanical loads to which it is normally exposed.
unless something significantly chances between now and later this afternoon, i'm going to go for a ride outside. damn the consequences. sitting inside being glum doesn't heal broken bones.
