Today is 99 days since this was done to my lower back.
Yesterday was my last PT session. Today was the first ride I have taken since the fix to the back. The bride and I did about 80 miles. I am pleased with the results. At this moment I feel great after the ride. Last Saturday and Sunday we did some light chainsawing and wood chipping.
Things are moving along. The X-rays show my back and there are screws and rods as well as bone grafts to fuse L3/L4 and L4/L5. I am learning how to move differently since things don't bend where the used to. Do I have pain? Some but nothing like the last 10 years. Plus if there is any pain it goes away quickly, nothing lingers.
The bride and I now need to get in shape for a trip to Paonia, CO in mid July for the Top of the Rockies Rally. About 1800 miles round trip. We are excited.
