Panic buying and injury / illness update.
I don't normally buy much stuff or get ill but I've spent most of this week either shopping online or seeing doctors. Have bought:
drivetrain
chainrings
chain
cassette
tyres
3 pairs of shoes - 1 still coming, 1 to return and 1 wearing
Garmin 1030 - now returned
Wahoo Elemnt
Sunglasses
Contact lenses (am trying extended wear varifocals, so opticial spotted opportunity to sell me reading glasses as well)
Mitts
Bell (ffs - but manual seems to say I need to have one, can throw away - but OTOH it is good for kids in small villages so maybe fun for Balkans)
Tyre levers
Tubeless worms
Tubes
Bottle
Aerobar spacers
plus probably other stuff I'll forget about until it turns up.
Have managed to come out in sympathy with both @hippy and @GoatandTricycle: just been to hospital to have steroid injection in wrist because of tendonitis and am seeing another doctor tomorrow to decide if long term cough could be something worse - like pneumonia which my dad had when I saw him just before it started.
Anyone got any other suggestions either for stuff I should buy or illnesses / injuries I should get?
