My ride today was driven by anger and frustration. By the time it was over 3 hrs. 15 min. later, I had in 40 miles and I felt that I could have kept on going. Also, by the time it was done I was feeling much better and ready to go back to the hospital and help keep vigil over my brother Jeff.
Without going into too much detail...my younger brother Jeff became very ill about a week and a half ago. He ended up having to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery this past Wednesday evening. After appearing to make some improvement he was once again rushed brought back into surgery yesterday afternoon. His body is now fighting a massive infection in his abdominal cavity with the help of a cocktail of antibiotics. The last several days have been both frustrating and exhausting however he does appear to be showing signs of improvement.
I'm off to bed now, but will be up and back at the hospital early tomorrow morning. He has a long road to recovery ahead and I'm determined to help him out anyway possible.

We're pulling for your brother here, hope he comes through alright.
Oh man, I am very sorry to hear this but I am glad you have an outlet to help you deal with it.
Hoping for the best outcome for Jeff on this one, hang in there...
Thanks for the thoughts. They are greatly appreciated.
Yikes! I had to revise the 3hrs. 50min to the actual 3:15...don't want people to think I'm slow or anything.
Not that it matters.
Hey Vito, I'm sorry to hear of the problems -- my thoughts are with you and your brother and family!
Jeff is fortunate to have a brother like you on his side. My thoughts are definitely with you and your family.
p.s... thanks for the revision... NOT that I was calculating your time or anything... :)
