I did surgery last week and today is post op review- xray and change bandage after cleaning wound.

I saw the stitches- about half of my forearm length. Next week hopefully can remove stitches.

Listening to the long interview podcast

SRY's reason of saying "Aiyah, already win twice already ah, no need to win somemore" = he thought the camera has already been turned off. 🤣

cos bro. Need to put in the metal plate to hold the fractured bone in place and screw the plate securely to the bone.

my is distal radius fracture. I think doc cut longer length to fit the plate in.

I saw the plate in the xray. And the plate and screw must return. I guess next year

Ask if the Ti plate / screw no need to return and so no need to go for another operation. Mine is still inside my 4th ring finger. 🤣 If it is not really preventing you to move your wrist, no need to return.

But for govt restructured hospitals, i think majority of the time they dont use Ti.

@WussRedXLi chio new bike alert, check out the handlebar (color is subjective)


Good first bike......esp if fan of just doing zone 2 90% of the time and no surges/sprints of any sort....i mean you can surge/sprint lah, it still would be plenty fast enough for you or me (it's our leg strength and neuromuscular that really matter, plus Creatine lol ).

Can still easily maintain 35, 40kmh one lah...all those tubes on the bike have aero designs on them (better than normal round tubes), and definitely can get to 45-50kmh with a bit of downhill. Get 2 of those aero type water bottles, so many on TB. What matters the most is the position on your bike, ie how low and aero can you get + maintain over XX or YY minutes....your back and core strength and triceps and a bit of front deltoids....need to strengthen a lot, ,much more than the typical strengthening that you see in running.

But important thing is, ask them to change the tyres to the ubiquitous Continental GP5000....just leave the butyl inner type in there, no issue and confirm durable / 耐用 and fuss-free. If you are careful and plan your routes carefully and do proper routes with good roads, vast vast vast majority of the time wont even puncture.
If it works, it works and nothing to tune esp since it is electronic shifting there is nothing to tune etc, dont bother messing with this and that.

Then if wanna "upgrade", just sell it.... ...which i'd deduce that'd be 12-18 months for you, if you intend to take the hobby to the next level. Dont bother to mod or change this/that, coz sometimes the tolerances of Twitter might not be very good......just more headaches.

BTW one thing, the crank length, i think for your height......see if you can spec it to be 165mm long. This is esp so if you always like to be in the aero tuck position. It says can use Shimano 105, confirm can be changed to 165mm, just top up nia.

thank you for sharing so much, there are so much to learn from you and others in here about cycling. Sorry to disappoint you (if there is any expectations), as I am not intending to buy a bicycle. Just sharing what I gathered online that I thought you and other cyclists might be interested.
Me other than running, my perennial interests will be my audio system, which I am constantly refining and tweaking to my preference and lifestyle.

No lah....that time before i started cycling/bought bikes i also researched like kee siao, never even intend to start but was searching things (like how you'd search for shoes and youtube them up even if not buying). So no worries. Buying = retail therapy, and even window shopping, searching on TB also subset of retail therapy. 🤣
With the knowledge, then you'd be 100% ready when you finally want to take the plunge. (i took the plunge simply coz i had a 2 months long ITBS running injury)
Long story short, now really the time to start running or even cycling. Coz of the much lower bar to entry.

I used to be into 2-ch audio, then dwelled into big speakers type (pro audio/studio monitors type, i like the huge dynamics). Then nowadays only listen to this below. :unsure::eek: Dont know why the drastic change.

Good for workouts

Damn shiok, but too bad, SG no space.
Listened to similar @ adelphi showroom and was hooked. Forgot which track but hotel california was standard, there was one famous song with huge dynamics, wah lan.

Ben's exogenous oxidation of the ingested carbs is 92h/hr (this is the actual utilization of the ingested carbs)
Quite good.

Coz i didnt want to go into another 45 mins operation to take it out. OT damn cold also. Must go through local anasthesia etc.

No complications, already 15 years. But your case i am not sure, need to AI and ask your spec. Your spec would likely to want you to do it, esp if yours is covered by insurance + rider. $$$
If govt restructured hospital then you will have a more truthful ans. Actually you will know after 6 months, if your hand can move freely.....or discomfort etc.

My hand and wrist spec at Mount E Orchard literally psychoing me non stop to do it during the follow up sessions. Also the missies at the clinic.
