Ride for me, Maggie.
Here's some motivation: get out there and ride for me. I can't ride because
I had surgery on Thursday. I want to ride, I yearn to ride, I dream about riding a bike! Get out there and ride your bike while you can! Pat in TX |

Get out there and ride your bike while you can! Pat in TX I knocked off 75 looong miles to mom's house on Friday, Pat. Half of 'em were yours. Nice job . . . especially on that last uphill grind in your 24t/34t. You were an animal! Rest easy, heal fast, and get back on the road as soon as you can. Neil |

Neil Hope your recovery is quick, Pat. I didn't do anything close to Neil's ride but I'll give you all my 8 miles on the hills where I've been practicing climbing. Hope to see you back on the bike soon. Beverly |

: I knocked off 75 looong miles to mom's house on Friday, Pat. Half of 'em : were yours. : : Nice job . . . especially on that last uphill grind in your 24t/34t. You : were an animal! : : Rest easy, heal fast, and get back on the road as soon as you can. : : Neil I'm touched--i really am. i was going thru one of those "feeling sorry for myself" moments. in my mind, it has been 4 days now, and i ought to be feeling a LOT better than i do. how long it takes for a repaired rotator cuff to heal, i dunno, but i don't have a great deal of patience. i see the doc on the 22nd, and he had better have some good news for a change! (a good night's sleep would be cool, too.) Pat in TX |

: WOW....Pat...that was some ride. I wish you a speedy recovery. I hope : you are back on your bike soon and when you go to sleep each night : while recovering, I wish you sweet dreams of riding. Be well. : Sending good vibes your way. thanks for the kind words. i am feeling a bit cranky these days. the way i see it, what you are really asking in your posts is this: is this IT? is this going to be THE "exercise" that i can at long last stick with? is this going to last or fade like all the other things i have tried in the last 20 years? and the answer is-------yes, this is IT. stop worrying and let yourself go with the flow. we all here know a secret and we are sharing it with you. this is the real thing you've been looking for. recover your childish enthusiasm for riding a bike; you'll be the better for it in many ways. pat in TX |

I took my first ride 6 weeks to the day, and quickly was back to my normal schedule. If I'd been a roadie back then, I'd probably have been back in saddle in ~4 weeks. DO YOUR RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES!!! It gets better pretty quickly after initial recovery period (pain and stiffness). Best of luck! -- BS (no, really ) |

: : DO YOUR RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES!!! : : It gets better pretty quickly after initial recovery period (pain and : stiffness). : : Best of luck! : -- : BS (no, really ) What gets me is that this doc's practice is called "sports medicine" and yet I get a sheet of exercises written for a life-long couch potato; i.e., the minimum expected! The hell with that! I want the maximum I can do, not the minimum I "must" do! Tell me (doc) what i can do without hurting myself---how far can I go? can I try to lift my arm above my shoulder? can I do the wall walking exercises with my fingers? can I type on the computer? why or why not? And yet, all he gives me is this single sheet of exercises making my fingers go around in circles. It's frustrating! I'm all doped up and ready to rehab! Pat in TX : : |

Pat in TX : : Do all you can do but work up to it just like they say. I tried doing pullups like I was 15 again and wound up pulling a very sore (now) muscle in my back. Just because I could do them with one arm in high school didn't mean much 40 years later. It is a little harder to hurt yourself on a bike but you could (maybe) pull a quad or something by trying too hard too fast. Once your heart and lungs are in shape and your weight comes down you should be able to go right on up to the ambition/pain threshold. I now have a max heart rate that would do a 30 year old proud and never get out of breath but my legs/pain/ambition limit me. I went riding on Monday and had to hold my breath for about 30 seconds after a cattle truck passed me by and wafted all the dust and cattle poop in my face. I think I turned blue but it was better than breathing at the time. Just do it. That is pretty much the motto around here. Go for it. If you catch the above mentioned 'IT' let us know. -- Bill (not always politically correct) Baka |
