quick update home again

We left two sundays ago for Arkansas then Monday was wife's birthday and the next day she tore neck muscles and couldn't move her neck, next day availed her of Arkansas urgent care center and she got some muscle relaxer and pain killer...somewhat better, I went Tuesday to only bike shop in phone book (gearhead outfitters) and rented a confort mountain bike (specialized) from the place. He doesn't really rent but was willing to I guess because I obviously wanted to ride 40 $ for 3 days ok but only rode one day because soon wife reinjured neck and saturday Morning we were in Glasgow KY emergency room. Hopefully tomorrow she will get into see her PC Physican and get better different drugs and phys therapy referral. I am still recovering but not 100%, I admit if $$ were no object I'd probably go to get refereal for some Physical therapy but I am slowly getting better. The thing is if I'm near walls or by my self I walk pretty good. Spasms are less frequent and less severe. A full recovery may take weeks more but I just want to get the wife better and that is stressful to me. Your thoughts are appreciated. AS stated I did do one ride of almost 22 miles in pure rolling hills probably not too much less than Dirt's hill ride (less but not too much) I unclipped my right ( hood side and ended up going really slow. You might want to check out a topographic map. I was on a feature called crowleys ridge near jonesboro AR. 30 miles either way flat, but not there. If I wasn't on 26" wheeels and MTB gearing I probably would not make it.
I actually paid $50 because I asked him to put a computer on. I had first tried to fix up a cousins Next brand bike (walmart) unused for 5+ years under pig dirt rusted. Needed new cassete as it kept slipping on hills and a new chain at least but it was a 90$ bike new I think. I wasn't going to risk slipping that bad for a real ride. Everyone in the family was agaist me riding as people drive very fast and many blind hills and turns but I found traffic light and mostly nice. I would like to travel there with friends who bike, very good workout. I will hoe for a trailer hitch and future hitch rack as I never want to go to such a nice place and not have my bike. At 100+ degrees and super humidity 21+ miles was a solid workout.
