After a month of treatment for severe left side facial pain and 4 emergency department visits in the middle of the night, I woke up the morning after the last emergency department visit with no facial pain but a swollen left jaw. X-rays showed a massive infection in my left lower jaw (initial x-rays had not indicated an infection). I had a tooth extracted and I am on antibiotics but NO MORE EXCRUCIATING FACIAL PAIN. Once the infection clears and my body is clear of all the medications I've been taking for weeks, I should be back on the trails again before winter comes.

Greenway and trail are in good condition. Fallen leaves cover the trail in some places leaving two narrow worn down paths. Use caution in these areas because you cannot see where the edge of the trail is located and the leaves cover hazards.
For three weeks, I have been plagued with nightly migraine headaches causing some emergency room visits and a loss of sleep. I've still managed to get in two rides per week but I'm riding much slower.

Greenway and trail are in good condition. Fallen leaves hide hazards and broken light on the trail camouflages hazards. I broke my chain near the end of day's ride. I carry a chain repair kit but since I only had a mile to go, I just walked back.

Although the weather has been fantastic and I'm sure the greenway and trail are in good shape, I've not been able to ride for about a week due to excruciating facial pain. Specialists are treating it so I hope to be riding again soon.
